Hae a guid Andra's day and lang may yer lum reek... Wi' someone else's coals!
Independence may not have been won on account of someone in Leith neglecting to prepare answers to the questions that would have held the other 5% off such as "what currency will we use?"
Good one, Sandy, it would have been useful to have an answer prepared before the schools closed down their polling booths on the day!
But at least now we have been promised autonomy in more areas than before. To this end, I'll be spending less time on the English side because of some of this and, by way of comic irony, I've avoided being called to serve on a jury at either side during the previous 32 years and last week I got summonses through from both and have to decide which country to let down. The penalties of keeping voting rights in both countries on account of my dual nationality.
I'll probably serve on the English side as they have fewer possible verdicts, fewer jury members to agree with and will put us up in more expensive hotels for the duration of that particular case. Yes, I really am that shallow when it comes to losing work time on account of some bad people who couldn't keep their hands out of the register..
So I'm raising a glass of the local tincture, setting my haggis trap for the night as the season opens today and I fancy catching one, and then along the coast to Eyemouth - known chiefly as that town with a smell of fish and a name made from body parts - to join my cousins in throwing some English visitors into the sea.
Wha's Like Us – Damn Few And They're A' Deid.
