deal with if Scotland gets its independence. He is no slim Jim so perhaps he should be looking at his lifestyle as he looks pretty unhealthy to me.

from the link, interesting

At the same time, this dynamic city also has an unenviable reputation for poor health. Obesity rates are among the highest in the world. Research conducted in 2007 found that nearly one in five potential workers was on incapacity benefit and that Glasgow has a much larger number and a higher proportion of the population claiming sickness-related benefit than any other city in Britain.

The sooner they go the better.

Perhaps they will get on with life instead of sitting at home sponging of the rest of the UK. I doubt hard working Scots will put up with it for long.

Glasgow, the city that invented the deep fried Mars bar! Now they do deep fried battered pizza as well , served with a large portion of 'Glasgow Salad' ( chips)

ymb, did you read the link. It says that those in Glasgow are more at risk of serious heart problems, disease that anywhere in Europe, shouldn't that be of concern to all, and that its something that Alex Salmond and his people should be urgently looking into.

shouldn't it be a priority for Alex Salmond if they gain independence.
