Scottish Referendum

[scooping]

Who's paying for the cost of the Scottish referendum on independence?

[emmie]

actually DT its a class piece.

thanks emmie (and craftie) - brilliant, I love it - our invasion plans were formulated over the 4th bottle of wine the night I arrived at my mates before his 60th.

[Wharton]

I can't see the vote being other than Yes or No and as I've already said, the 'foreigners' are legally Scottish if their names appear on a Scottish electoral roll.

[Wharton]

4 bottles each was it, DT :-)

[DTCwordfan]

or a Cornish electoral roll, Wharton.

[DTCwordfan]

a mere opener for ten for a Scot at that consumption level, Wharton......

[Wharton]

DT - I'm just curious, how far are you from Buckfast Abbey in Devon?

[DTCwordfan]

About 100 miles, Wharton......been there and the shyte they make is awful.

[Wharton]

divebuddy - Said by whom?

[Wharton]

DT - I'm surprised you managed to lay your hands on a bottle of the stuff. Most of it seems to be consumed by the young half-wits in the West of Scotland and yes, we do have half-wits up here :-)

It's also been said that if Scotland votes "Yes" it could become one of the most prosperous countries in Europe, second perhaps only to Norway. Certainly, Norway is the example that the SNP use most often as an example of a relatively small but extremely prosperous country and an all-round top place to live.

I have no doubt at all that if independence is won, one of the first things that an independent Scotland will do is build the turbines across the Pentland Firth which, if Salmond is to be believed, will generate approximately half of the country's energy requirements for the foreseeable future.

Also, to what extent are the protestant Orange lodges, and Catholic organisations, involved in the campaigns.
Does the Celtic/Rangers divide have any bearing on how things are developing. Not heard a word on news broadcasts about religion (and bigotry) in the Yes/No debate but religion is clearly a factor in Scottish life.

[Wharton]

No-one knows how the Freemasons & Knights of St Columba will vote - it's a secret.

[SirOracle]

Like it Wharton....The old ones are the best (:- .

[Wharton]

SirOracle - I'm glad you still liked it although I guess you heard it (in another form perhaps) when you were in your pram. :-)

[SirOracle]

Wharton I don't think it is THAT old.

[SirOracle]

Wharton You know what they say " Once a mason always a mason....but once a knight and you're dead by fifty "

As I said,the old ones are the best. (:- .
