I fully understand the chasm open between the two countries that has been promulgated in the North for centuries. It seems strange to me that folk could be so vehemently anti English , but having lived not that far from you for many years I experienced it first hand, although there were some decent people who welcomed me as a countryman not an English b.....d. This chasm could never heal over whilst 600 years of hatred still simmers continually under the surface,it is not just a recent thing, I honestly hope you get your way and that it is a strong yes vote, it may mean that I have to use my passport to get to the memorial at Spean Bridge next time I go but Heigh Ho that is life. Regarding car manufacture,it's a little far for you but take a look at Coventry now and how it was in the 60's. As regards Corus it is a minescule operation that when travelling through Corby you could easily miss. simil



My God man 600 years of hatred what a lot of rubbish, our memories are not that short:rofl:
 
As SL 6.5 says our state pension is payed by present day tax payers, fine the problem is Scotland has an aging population

so if we are to maintain that level we need more people coming in to the country, more people earning, starting new businesses
attracting business from elsewhere , will it happen nobody really knows it requires a leap of faith, but sometimes that's just what you need to do .

Salmond has made no secret of the fact that he favours the Scandinavian model of economy, so yes that does mean higher taxes for those earning enough to pay them, in spite of that their standard of living for the average person is much better than here.

P.F. Would the postal service cost more, possibly, but it looks like there are changes coming in the postal service anyhow
so we don't know what the present service will be like in the future, so don't think anyone can tell you if it will be better or worse.

Carriers don't see why they would be much different from now , if you live anywhere other than the central belt you are shafted in any case , some of them class a Falkirk postcode as the Highlands, so no change I would imagine or they end up classing the whole of Scotland as they do the Highlands and Islands at the moment, pain in the rectum but not the end of the world.

Borders There is no real problem for those from the UK traveling to the Republic of Ireland , there is also no control between the UK and the channel Islands nor the Isle of Man which are not only not part of the mainland but they are not even in the European Union, so why should there be a problem border crossing between Scotland and England[/Qraise charges.




"Not much different / no change".
That's the a answer they keep trotting out and its still wrong.

Sorry but you've not been reading the articles I have posted links to..mainly BBC stuff.
They clearly say that cross borders costs will go up and re couriers,they are on record as saying they are going to raise
 
Hey p f, that's the second time you've double posted, that I've seen today. Calm down. It's only a country changing forever we're talking about. Here, try these people for some help http://www.pfcounselling.org.uk/ :D

Tough to work and post on a smartphone at the same time.

Ah, life is always tough and then you die. But, Mahogany! That's just so, yesterday's wood, the wood of the old Empire. I'm sitting at fairly new Black-walnut beauty and, being such a man of the people, my coffee's in a mug. The coffee that's left to drink, that is, not the coffee I've already had.

just watched the shooting show ! yer i know !! anyway sounds like the new powers in scotland are to give an anti us lot the rights to access anyones land to find evidence of animal crime can o worms??? :popcorn:
 
so i see mention of land ownership changes and major land reform does that mean the carving up of the large estates to provide multiple holdings for smaller landowners ???? that happened here with differing results lol all for the good of the common man:roll: does he not realise that scotland as it stands benefits from a billion pound tourist industry mostly based on the way the place is now twill be an interesting time ahead
 
well I though admin were being a little tough on 6.5 earlier on as he'd only posted how glad he was not to have to talk about this subject ! how wrong was I !

turns out it was all posted so he could preach his snp views !

I think privatefraser and his chums have done more of the preaching, actually. I was just noting that no-one was talking about rUK Flag.webp That is, the remainder of the UK. Now, there is an interesting conversation we still haven't really had.

Preaching...moi ?

I leave that to Alex Salmond and the other cult leaders.
I had to re-type the word cult by the way...spell checker wouldn't let my first choice through :lol:.

ps... I pass this on with absolutely no comment at all...

Leaked paper shows SNP fears over cost of benefits | Herald Scotland


Except for this....

Aye that's true, but that , coming anyhow with our present Government, nothing to do with the referendum

mind you there is nothing much to stop them at the moment, the right to roam allows them on most land already.

Whats more scary is the SSPCA have asked for more powers to allow them to enter and search property
where they think animal crime has taken place, they are looking for basically the same powers as the police as far as animals are concerned , at the moment you can refuse them entry unless accompanied by the police.
