It's true !

It's funny but true : A Scotsman was the first Governor of the Bank of England and an Englishman set up the Bank of Scotland !
Mate, I've worked in Scotland on a couple of contracts and I've never had a problem. The Scots are pro-british, despite any misconceptions they may have about the english.
The other day someone in the forum was referring to them as jocks/sweaties/etc, at least they don't have/use as many insults as the english do to describe them !

How come Gordo dont have no Scottish accent?

An aunty of mine that had lived in NZ for nearly 80 years before her death had the heaviest Scottish accent Ive ever come across! So whats Gordo's excuse for not having an accent? Embarrased about where he comes from perhaps?

Erm... so its the English that are 'holding back Scotland' ...

Um, yes, actually. The fact that a number of government ministers are from Scotland or have connections from there does not change that.

Real devolution.
This halfway-house just annoys everybody (except the political classes)
