Yes, now we see whether Cameron & Co. make good on the promises they've been making.

I'm glad for the present we can throw out the term rUK (rump UK). It never did sound very dignified. :)

Texas :shucks:

Still looking to become an independent country down thar? I'm sure the flag makers are drooling.:DBut, if northern California becomes the state of Jefferson, that'll pop their balloon quick.:haha:

As for Scotland... I wonder who got stabbed in the back and then drawn and quartered this time around?:timeout:

Just don't give us any more Braveheart films....pleeeeeese :)

"Give me Liberty or put me on ice." Sarah Palin's last long shot to become president of something---besides her own fan club. :O:

It ain't the Lone Star State for nuthin'! @ Oberon you overlooked a biggie! What amazed me was that if the motion passed, The Shetland Islands prefer to separate from Scotland; And they do have oil! " "A petition of more than 1,000 signatures raised by islanders from Shetland, Orkney and the Western Isles calling for a separate referendum on whether they could themselves become independent was rejected last month by the Scottish government, which said it had promised new powers to the three island groups.
The Shetland archipelago, more than 100 miles north of mainland Scotland, has traditionally voted strongly against Scottish independence, in part because of its distinctive history – until the 15th century it was part of Norway and is closer to its west coast than the Scottish capital – in part because the oil industry has made it rich without particular assistance from Edinburgh." http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/sep/17/shetland-may-reconsider-place-scotland-yes-vote-alistair-carmichael

In light of Salmond's resignation I can guarantee you there is some copy editor at a Fleet Street broadsheet running to his editor with his genius headline.

SO LONG AND THANKS FOR ALL THE SALMOND.

and a bottom feeder at that :D

So Alex Salmond was right after all, Scotland CAN still use the pound after September 18th.
