    What happens to all the Scroates currently working in England if they vote yes? We can't automatically say that's OK we have an open boarder because we would then be breaking EU laws because Scroates would not be part of the EU.

    Scotland not being in the EU will make that a tad tricky though workable. You got English working and living in Scotland too don't forget.

    This is interesting regarding the idea that Scotland never gets the party it votes for:

    http://www.independent.co.uk/voices...s-in-scotland-and-war-historians-9736853.html

    Must admit, I fell for the "poor Scots, never get their government" line. The facts don't back that up. Instrumental too that it was the SNP that helped Maggie get in in '79.

    Just seen Blair Whathisface responding to (reasonable) criticisms of mob-politics by the Yes camp as 'changing the subject because you're losing the argument"..... Wasn't that what the SNP did last weekend regarding the BBC?

    I work with several Jocks, and they're under the impression that, as they were domiciled here before the split, it has no effect whatsoever, and that they get to keep their passports too. Pretty certain that's what I read too.

    BUT there is no firm agreement to that effect merely an understanding. The more belligerent Salmond becomes in those negotiations the more likely it is that the more awkward the UK will become whilst hiding behind the cloak of Brussells.

    Nobody knows what the timeframe will be - that's another matter that is still up for negotiation.

    On the plus side of a yes vote.

    EU duty free entitlement
    Cheap package holidays
    No Germans around the council swimming pools
    An easy place to get to and get rid of that mountain of &#8364; coins you've got from previous holidays

    Murray after winning Olympic gold.
    Andy Murray has finally revealed his view on Scottish independence with one of the side's "negativity" having swayed his opinion on the vote.
    Murray, who won gold for Great Britain at London 2012, tweeted his views in the early hours of Thursday morning regarding the Scottish independence vote.
    Huge day for Scotland today! no campaign negativity last few days totally swayed my view on it. excited to see the outcome. lets do this!

    &#8212; Andy Murray (@andy_murray) September 18, 2014
    With the bold statement of "Let's do this!" to his 2.7 million followers on the day voting starts, Murray appears to have dropped his carefully guarded neutrality on the hot topic.
