Any positives about a YES vote, for the English? (light hearted)

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.

Ididnt I think it could be a first

Of course if Scotland stays where it is and the English/Welsh bit floats away we could be back at being stuck with Calais.

We are not having bloody Calais. It is a shithole of the first order.

What will we sing at New Year if we can't have Auld Lang Syne anymore?

Becca we can sing the new anthem. It's versatility is its beauty.

I think the Queen would be in favour of a new national anthem. She must be soooo sick of the old one.

Happy new year!
No more auld lang syne!

Ad infinitim

Exactly. HM is known to love a bit of Gloria G.

English export figures will go through the roof as Devon single handedly saves the economy by flogging Buckfast.

If we attach a few warships along the South coast and set the engines to full ahead, whilst simultaneously setting off the dynamite along Hadrian's Wall, we could possibly tow ourselves a few extra degrees in a South-Westerly direction and improve the climate a tad.

Can't we have Plymouth Ho! and bob up and down like the Prommers do at the Last Night of the Proms?

Could we have the hallelujah chorus?

Didn't Billy Connolly (ironic I know) propose we use The Archers theme tune as a National Anthem, it's nice and upbeat and I'd like to see the Olympic Athletes marching in time to it

Does that mean I might technically be Scottish, so maybe I'm officially an expat by tomorrow morning, living abroad? ;)

Can you imagine the hallelujah chorus at Wembley? Brilliant

Setting off our newly acquired Trident missiles at the border should help propel us too, Franke.

Or land of hope and glory just with new words (which is suprisingly hard to write without lots of thought)

I don't know the words to ALS anyway. "For old acquaintance be forgot, la la la la la LAAAAAAAAAA..... For auld lang syne my friend..." Is about as much as I know.

I think we should go east and hang out with the Netherlands

They're like us, only much nicer

Also: Scotland will have a shit fit when it sees us on facebook, having an a maaaze ing time without it

I like your work Frankel and we'll need to go a teensy bit west to avoid a collision with bloody Calais.

Archers theme tune

Yes Frankel I thought of that but then I thought perhaps it wasn't the best thing to have the new national anthem chosen by a Scot.

As I recall Billy Connelly wanted to teach it to people on the plane over

Oh id love that!

Instead of anthems at the start of sporting events do them at the end...

So when we with the rugby or cricket...

For the football we will need a rethink

No one actually knows the words to auld language syne anyway so that's no big loss.

Or the Eastenders theme tune, using the Anita Dobson version.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne*?

CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my jo,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
