I have lived 10 years in one and 15 years in the other.
Ayrshire wins on most counts but Surrey has better villages and pubs.
I recall loads of thieving going on in Surrey when I lived there in the 1970's.

Now I am concerned... Been told that when those north of the wall pick up their kilts and depart it has been suggested that 'we' be rebranded as Future United Kingdom... I thought rUK was bad enough

This is the biggest lie of the yes campaign.
It's based on the false premise that Scotland is somehow already seperate from the rest of the UK. It's as false an argument as suggesting the people of Sussex* didn't elect the last Labour government. As part of the UK, the borders (while not meaningless) only have a value emotionally and not in any reality.
It's a total straw man.
Why do the Yes campaigners persist with this lie? As for not wanting to isolate.. derp.. that IS what you will be doing, like it or not. Another Salmondism. He's such a small minded, chippy little fella, and seems determined to turn us all against each other.
It's a bloody shame so many Scot's feel this way, certainly Westminster has to shoulder some of that blame. I would much prefer us to deal with that problem together, rather than just tearing the union apart. That seems wholly counter-productive.
*And yes, i understand the difference between a county and a country.

It's the UK now and if the Scot's leave it will still be called the UK. The concept that the UK will somehow have to change or share whatever it has with those deserting it is odd. Not to mention worrying for the Scot's and laughable in it's Salmondy arrogance.

Not quite, I went thieving in Suffolk and Wiltshire before that!
And if you search Glasgow and London on page 3...? Sorry Doon but once again you're twisting and turning the facts to suit.
Don't get me wrong, if I was a Scot living in Scotland, I'd vote for self determination. But all the spin is just plain sad and totally disingenuous.
Vote from the heart, and rollox to all the spin.

I had an interesting conversation yesterday with someone 'well connected' and they said that if Scotland become independent Ryanair plan to use Prestwick airport as their long haul hub.
I think the chairman of Ryanair said pretty much the same in a TV interview a couple of months back.

Yep, most of his airports are in the middle of nowhere.

The thought of flying a 45 minute flight with Ryanair is bad enough never mind long haul, it's easy for Ryanair to say the will use Prestwick for long haul when they don't have a long haul service, they have been talking about this for years but all we hear is talk from Michael O'leary as normal.
Non story from the YES camp IMO

I did think it was a wind up that had suddenly morphed into fact, so thanks for posting the link to the facts.
Personally I thinks its brilliant, I can now type and say fUK all day anywhere without fear of chastisement :lol:
I dont want to belong to fUK, I want UK.
If (absolutely NO CHANCE) the dence vote independence the UK will still be the UK, it will not be fUK or any derivative of that.
The fact some people can get their name in the papers spouting such drivvel is testamount to its credence.
agreed. :thup:
I can counter that with John and Margarets dog grooming business that have categorically stated they will move their Global Headquarters OUT of Scotland should the dence win. There are many other Global Headquarters all saying similar.:smirk:

Six months ago I got severe pelters from the forum when I 'floated' the fUK idea.
I was joking but it seems like some of the big wigs are not!!

My neighbour has just popped round and informed me that the state of my finances is very worrying and that I should let him take control.
Apparently I don't have the knowledge or the resources to properly manage my affairs, so he is going to take full control of my income and give me back a monthly allowance (obviously less whatever expenses he incurs to provide this service for me).
My home, car, etc. will also become the property of my neighbour, although I will still have full use of them for the time being (providing I continue to pay the mortgage, loans, taxes, etc., and an administration fee obviously).
He has also said that if I don't do it then I won't be able to remain a member of the local social club, apparently there's a Spanish committee member that says that the club won't allow any members in that refuse my neighbours financial services. They've also said that they won't accept my cash there either, and I will have to buy special pound tokens which I can buy at the reception (for a similar amount, less commission charges).
My neighbour also states he has the right to cut my monthly allowance as he sees fit, and can deduct additional costs from my budget if I decide I need to visit the doctor (or want my bins emptied).
My neighbour has also stated that I need to contribute towards him getting away for regular breaks to his favourite city, and I've also got to chip in for the drinks tab for his posh friends that have booked a couple of rooms in the same hotel.
I have to say that I am quite sceptical of his offer, and how it is actually going to improve my life and my finances, but he is adamant that we will be Better Together.
Is it possible he might be telling lies?
