    Englishness to me is a croissant with coffee for brekkie, a greek salad for lunch, eight pints of fozzies and a chicken jalfrezi for tea.

      We'd also miss out on the epic tales of missed flights from the wrong airports.

        Then we'll just use Expat Shield and have UK IP addresses, so watch it sonny boy...I'm in the UK next month and I believe I know where Luton is :-)
        Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

          And contrary to the picture the esteemed members of cUK would like to paint, I believe adopted nationality and an individual's nationality for that matter, is an outmoded concept. Particularly in the modern day Britain. What purpose does it serve in a country so diluted as ours? What do we stand for anymore? What does it mean to be British? I could probably tell you more about what it means to be German than British, and that's frightening
          So why the big deal about Scottish independence?

            Get on with you work before they chuck you out. SAS is still trying to get in.

                Because the affairs of UK in general are nothing to do with the affairs of Scotland. The countries could not be more different. The residents made that clear during the last election. Residents of Scotland have no representation in Westminster. And for that matter neither do people in the north of England. Scotland is more than capable of managing it's own affairs.

                On an individual level, the focus of this thread, it matters not in Scotland where you came from but only to a small narrow minded minority.

                  Unless you came from England.
                  While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                    Yup, I did. Then again I have 4 small kids and the boiler to service.

                    I used to call Fridays "Space hopper day" as I didn't need the return flight, I could have just bounced home.
