If we can't figure out the Irish border, what happens if Scotland join the EU?

      you're quite right..... My bad.

      Every time I think of that idiot I remember the comparison being made that Piers Morgan isn't the worst Piers and Jeremy Corbyn isn't the worst Corbyn. So I got confused.

            You obviously haven't seen his Talk TV show otherwise you may have reassessed your position on who is the worst Piers

              We can take as read Scotland would want to join the EU and all other guff aside about, how would a land border with England possibly work?
              It's very simple - just have a hard border. The only reason it is not this simple in Ireland is because of the Ireland "situation" - a hard border there is simply not politically acceptable for many of the residents. No such problem exists for Scotland/England.

                If I live on a street which straddles the border can I still go to the pub? We saw this a bit in lockdown when Wales/Scotland/England had differing rules.

                  Borders always cause a kerfuffle along those lines. I suspect it'll be reasonably porous right up until the time when Scotland joins the EU. Buy shares in razer wire manufacturers.

                    Are there any residential streets which cross the border?

                    I found an interesting blog post about this topic:
                    What might a land border between the United Kingdom and a separate Scotland look like? | The Nation said No Thanks! (wordpress.com)
                    According to that, there are 25 public roads which cross the border. There are photos of 2 (with no houses); I don't know about the other 23.

                    However, one of the comments talks about people who commute between Dumfries (Scotland) and Carlisle (England). Presumably those people would need work permits for the other country and they'd need to go through a passport checkpoint every day. If they work from home, that might raise other questions, similar to "Can I take my laptop to France for my UK client?"
