    About time they all grew up and grew some.
    Yes indeed. No more sucking off mummy's nipple.

      You're worse than a "plastic paddy" and a "Champagne Socialist"! Germany is your country now.

        Was that a tax on how many long sticks everyone had?

        Shame they didn't put some of the money into education.

          A tax on how many poles they let in the country to do their plumbing ?

            For the record I would not mind letting the Scots get on with it because it would wipe out any chance of Labour ever having power again but:

            If you think that the big UK co's (all based down here I might add!) will leave a penny in Scotland's pockets when they have finished working out how to untangle the laws,trade, It systems and
            pension funds you are deluded. On average I get at least 2 calls a month about roles at RBS. If the jocks can't find anyone to draw Visio diagrams you have no hope of staffing the sorts of people that will be needed to sort out the mess that will be caused.

            I am surprised that the likes of PWC and Delloite are not sponsoring the devolution.
