Independence Poll

[Liverbirdie]

The amount of full lorries heading North on the A74 and A1 compared to the empty ones heading South.

Was that the other year carrying aggregate when they were making the A9 into a motorway. 70 miles of 40MPH average speed limit was a killer, and I only had to do it 6 times.

Mate, you've been given my answer, it's the same answer as Mervyn King would give, the same answer as Gideon Osbourne would give, the same answer as pretty much anyone would give, yet you chose to continue to give the wrong answer!

There are two options, continue to use it, or pay us 9% of the value of The Bank of England and we'll walk away.The second one really isn't an option as RUK don't have anything like that kind of cash(£22 Trillion), especially when you remove the overpaying Scots taxpayer from the fund.

So we'll continue to use our own currency.

The phrase "Have your cake and eat it" Spring to mind!!

As it "seems" to be so much in favor for yourselves being independant, why has no-one suggested it before now?

No, we'll have our independence and our currency.

We did try before, in 1979, and it won a majority of the votes cast, but a caveat was placed on the vote that more than 40% of registered voters vote to make it valid.On one hand quite sneaky as generally less than 50% of registered voters vote, either down to apathy,ignorance or both.On the other hand it was fair enough.

I'm confident that if The McCrone report was public knowledge back then as it is now, we'd have won easily, but as usual Westminster stacks the deck.If we had won, we be the Abu Dhabi of the north and we'd so far out of sight of RUK financially,healthwise,education wise it wouldn't be funny.

A9 into a motorway, you're kidding right?

it was a couple of miles of Dual Carridgeway at most.

Many English people don't understand geography north of Watford, dont expect them to know where Stirling is far less anything North of it.

Does that apply to the Scottish understanding of the English language too?

M80/A9 it pissed down for all 70 odd miles of it anyway, so couldn't make the signs out!!!!

 

[Doon frae Troon]

That would be the M80/M73 then.
Many Scottish drivers would love to see the A9 as motorway, it is a real deathtrap at the moment. Some bits are dual carriageway others are not. This causes much frustration.
