It's depressing enough the rest of the time let alone new year

Steady, I often go there at New Year, not the place for night life I agree but walking or mountain biking in the snow through the native pinewoods is bliss. Decent cafe by the bridge too. Aviemore or Grantown both close if u need some hogmanay activity. Personally can't be bothered with Hogmanay these days, for the youngsters really.;)

There is a bit of support in Scotland for Nicola to trade support for LBJ's worse than Mays Brexit deal for a Section 30 order.
Pulling up the drawbridge on our friends and relatives in England/Wales/NI who are remainers will be quite uncomfortable.
But sometimes needs must.

Any one else recall LBJ strongly stating that he would NEVER support an Irish Sea border.

Why do I think the English should get out? Because in my experience they are not liked in Scotland. 'Spend and then go home' is the mantra.
Scotland is a sectarian society. When I've been there I'm asked why I'm there when I'm just there for recreation. Other people have reported this.
You need to know the history. The wars of Scottish independence date back to the 13th Century. Later, the English rebelled against the Stuart dynasty. It was replaced by the Hanoverians from Germany (what a relief!). Then the Scots invaded England and marched as far as Derby.
The 2014 referendum was just the first battle in the latest war. Then the posters said 'It's Still Yes'.
I have to say that you are remarkably consistent at spouting absolute sweeping tripe whenever you come on here, based on your own prejudices with little knowledge of the facts. I'm English and have lived in Scotland for 15 years. During that time I have made many friends, been made Captain of my local golf club and deal with lots of customers in Scotland.
During that time I have had NO, NONE, ZERO, issues or animosity because I'm English. On the contrary I've found everyone to be generally warm, friendly and generous (forget the mean Scottish myth, that's all hails back to (I think) Harry Lauder, a Scottish comedian who made being mean part of his act). Yes, there's banter but I find that if you give as good as you get in a light-hearted way then people accept you even more. (If they wind me up too much I just say I'm up here to look after the colonies! ;)).
In Glasgow the accent can seem aggressive and it seems most people seem to have Tourettes with language a step above anywhere I've ever been before but it's just part of the way they speak.
Most of the people I know are against Independence (referring to Nicola as "The Nippy Wee Sweetie") but that is not necessarily representative of everyone in Scotland obviously.
There is Sectarianism in Glasgow which, frankly, is depressing and needs to be addressed. However that is mainly restricted to the football and the bloody awful Orange marches. I keep well out of it.
So in conclusion, Scotland is a great country, and I have no desire to go back to England and it really annoys me when I see people like yourself make such ill-informed statements.

That's good. You can keep Scotland with its politics, its weather, its awful diet, its midges, its accent.
Hope they get their independence ASAP.

I think I have understood now. You are such an immeasurable bawbag that it's just you that Scotland doesn't like, hence your experience.

I judge people not by their race, colour, creed, religion, age, gender or sexuality but by whether or not they are a complete bawbag. You sir have my approval of bawbagdom.
