And just so Wharton understands, I lived north of the border long enough.
I won't go into the division of oil rights under the Int treaty that covers that one as you won't get as much as you think and a lot of the current fields are in their sunset. This is then further exacerbated if the Shetlands and Orkneys were to separate to stay in the UK or go to Norway....
However, this is all supposition as, from what seems to be the case the majority of the Scots won't allow it to happen - the silent majority and most of the Scots I know are not the alcoholic racists, MT portrayed - just the alcoholic!
Your best tack, Wharton et al on the Haggis's coat-tails, would be to encourage the rest of us to have a vote on it and you might just find yourselves out of the UK!
