Can we bring the vote forward please? Like to tomorrow..... (Caveat - I have no position on Scottish independence. If the Scots want independence that's fine with me as long as they pay their own way) (Caveat to Caveat: I'm aware there are certain historical issues around the English being mean to the Scots. I'm sorry about that OK?))

I've not actually heard anyone articulate a sensible reason, other than it will be nice. But if they want to do it, please just get on with it and stop feeding the media with the opportunity to analyse everything to the point of tears.

Fellrunning Feb 2014 2:00pm, 24 Feb 2014 1,100 posts	Quote Pin Fellrunning I was thinking rather further back than St Hilda Margaret of Grantham. We (The English) did behave rather badly at Glencoe, and we did kick them off their land by the thousand and turn it into sheep pastures and grouse moors. Twas a long time ago though...

That said we were in a habit of hacking the heads off Queens on both sides of the border back then. If we're keeping score I believe it was England 3 (Boleyn, Howard, Grey (o.g)) Scotland 1

We have been waiting nearly a month for him to come back and finish the bathroom. It took 3 weeks to fit a shower and bath a couple of months ago. I'm not bloody well using him again.
