The Weather on TV will be a LOT shorter.

We will only have to wait 5 minutes for the weather girl to get round to us, instead of the usual 15 minutes, while they go all round the houses Scotland etc. Grin

Let's face it, and I know places like Pret try to sex it up, Porridge is the culinary equivalent of the entire nation of Scotland lining up against hadrians wall, lifting their kilts and farting in our direction.

To sum up: it's minging.

Oh, the Beeb ... will it still be the BBC? If it can still be received north of the border will the Scots still have to pay the licence fee?

Night all, if things go pear-shaped overnight we'll meet back here in the morning to form the Operation Haggis Rescue committee.

Do Scotsmen really do the wearing nothing free-bollocking thing under their kilts? or is than an urban legend?

How will Norway cope with Wales and how will Wales react to Norway.

That's what I need to know.

HesterShaw · 18/09/2014 22:40

I like porridge oats. They can stay.

Night all. Hopefully we'll still be a nation tomorrow.

England will have to deal with Wales's day to day tantrums and find its pencil case and school shoes.

TSSDNCOP · 18/09/2014 22:34

Scotland will be Disney dad to Wales Angry

Loving this thread Grin

OwlCapone · 18/09/2014 22:06

Surely Wales is old enough not to have to adhere to a strict access rota?

ErrolTheDragon · 18/09/2014 22:06

Ah well, Cornish regionalism has come to the fore more recently I think. There's some there who might want at least a bit of devolution.

If this is like a divorce does that mean Scotland gets Wales every other weekend and half the holidays?

Brilliant, we get the week-day drudgery and they get all the fun times! Wink

I holidayed in Cornwall for my entire childhood and yet this thread is the first tin I've seen the flag!

HesterShaw · 18/09/2014 21:58

Polls are closed. The deed is done.

HesterShaw · 18/09/2014 21:55

Ha. I've just found out Crown Dependencies are NOT part of the Commonwealth. In that case why are they in the Commonwealth Games? And why does Cav get to race for Team GB?

Anyway, I digress.

ErrolTheDragon · 18/09/2014 21:54

Thats why they can be tax havens. They're not in the EU either.

HesterShaw · 18/09/2014 21:51

This Channel Islands/Isle of Man not being in the UK thing is something I need to go and google.

My DD adores highland cows - she had a calendar with them on a couple of years ago, one a month.

No, any living south of the border can stay, on the same basis as other famous non-uk British Isles ones like Jerseys and Guernseys.

Ididntseeitsoitdidnthappen · 18/09/2014 21:45

No. I'm going to keep them all on my haggis rehoming centre

HesterShaw · 18/09/2014 21:44

Highland cows are the cutest things ever. Would a yes result mean they'd all have to repatriated though?
