    I'll stick a bed in my shed Tractor. You are welcome to stay there as long as you want. Bring your pension so I can buy a roof for it.

    Which will help paying for new glass - what with all the bricks that will get thrown through them - if the anti-English nastiness displayed over the past few weeks is anything to go by.

    Next it will be Settler Watch getting Scottish government grants.

    If you have a UK pension wouldn't it be frozen because you're living abroad.

    Is it something to do with the midges?

    As they're going to be in the EU you're free to move there if you want to.

    There will be a separat bilateral agreement. Remember that under UK law Ireland is not a foreign country. This is why Irish citizens can vote and stand in UK General Elections.

    I guess the UK tax treatment would be near the same as it would be for Eire but I wonder how hard it would be to 'get in'. Would I need to stow away on a lorry in B-u-T or something?

    You just have to live here and you get a passport.

    Just don't be here too long though, with demographics they wont be able to afford pensioners in 20 years, they will scoop you up and turn you into soylent haggis.

    Combine that with free unicorn powered high speed broadband and all the crude oil you can drink, and everyone's a winner.
