Scotland the crap

[wendigo100]

There's more...

Adam Smith and the famous economic theory
Alex Ferguson and the hairdryer
Gordon Brown and the tax credit

[angusglover]

Then we have artificial diamonds, pneumatic tyre, drainage, economics, decimal point. Not to mention cool stuff like marmalade...dolly the sheep, golf, telegraph and I believe the Chilean Navy (do they still have one?)

[angusglover]

You will find that a lot of the laws that make sense are actually in place in Scotland but England have not yet caught on.

24 hr drinking. Came law in Scotland...in 1979
Breast feeding - It is illegal to force a woman to stop breast feeding in public.. In England, you lot get all embarrased...lol

There are a whiole host of things that you should read up on.

There is a book called "How the Scots invented the modern world" (or close to that). It is a hard read but explains in a very detailed way just how ahead the Scots were..

RADAR: Heinrich Hertz German AR$£

I've studied RADAR fundamentals, if a german did invent they might not have lost the battles they had in the northern alantic that gave the Navy a distinct advantage. Proved useless for the buggers on the look out in Peral Harbour though, they thought it was a flock of seagulls.

RADAR has to be the most Brittish invention of them all Troll because the discovery of the magnetron made it happen, before that RADAR was not really a useful tool in warfare.

So you would not say that the magnetron was invented by H.E. Hollmann?

Another ill informed arguement from an ignorant. The thought, perpetuated by the English is that billions goes up to Scotland and nothing comes back down. Actually, England sends approx £8billion up to Scotland every year, but Scotland sends approx £13Billion down in commodites such as oil and gas etc.

So, we would indeed be better off.....
