If I remember correctly  as I had shares with Halifax, it was BOS who took over the Halifax. It was called HBOS cos they couldn't call it BOSH for obvious reasons! I stand to be corrected on this?!

That's not English, is that your forthcoming new language?

If only they had a vote!

Hope they get it, then build a fuck off wall and leave them to suffer.

A wall like this from the movie Doomsday?



or like your own wall?

No BIGGER

Like this with armed guards.

But Hipster wouldn't be able to get to the Macron every week.

No need to answer my ? Hipster, below does it!
Seems rather ill thought out don't you think?
No doubt silence will prevail?

Whats the question? Why can't people who don't live in Scotland vote? Well I suspect It's fairly self explanatory, it's for the people of Scotland to decide their future. I'm sure there are some disgruntled Scots living outside the borders that would like to vote but sorry... 

and no I don't think it's "ill thought out" I'm interested in what the people of Scotland think. 

More English arrogance on this thread 48 year old men saying they'd "leave us to suffer." It's this kind of mature, pulsating debate that leads many to vote yes.

The question I asked and hinted at do you consider it acceptable for "tourists" to vote? And you obviously do!
Ill thought as I said, keep that  bell ringing.
Another little snippet re. currency, the Governor of the Bank of England said that it is impractical for Scotland to use the pound. Shouldn't this have been sorted out prior to the vote or is it just trivia?
Perhaps Mr Salmond is in a rush to crown his wife the fist lady?

The following groups of people can register to vote in the referendum:

• British citizens resident in Scotland.
  
• Qualifying Commonwealth citizens resident in Scotland. This means Commonwealth citizens who either have leave to remain in the UK or do not require such leave, and are resident in Scotland.
  
• Citizens of the Republic of Ireland and other EU countries resident in Scotland.
  
• Members of the House of Lords resident in Scotland.
  
• Service/Crown personnel serving in the UK or overseas in the Armed Forces or with Her Majesty’s Government who are registered to vote in Scotland.
  

But nobody in England?
Who may be working in England?

Why would they vote? 

and the currency question has been answered read the white paper there are many currency options.

And why not? I'm quite sure they would have Scotland's interests at heart more than say Zbigniew on a two year posting? Obviously you don't think so.

The rouble looks favourite on the money front!

You keep editing your posts after I reply.

I've said what I think, It's about self determination as it always is with these kind of votes, the people of Scotland should decide it's future and I think thats fair. End of story really.

I edited one post, not to catch you out but to prevent having to pull too many teeth in multiple posts.

So if Scotland decides to the disband Great Britain and the United Kingdom agreements what will England, Wales and NI be called in the future?

We'll need a catchy name, but I'm struggling.

Fairly Big Britain?
The Slightly at Loggerheads Kingdom?

And what will our currency be called?

If FBB is allowed to retain the pound sterling - which is currently the currency of an entity that won't exist in the future (It's called the GBP according to Jah) what will that be called?
The EWNI pound? NIWE? WENI?WNIE? 

Scottish Pound will presumably be called the Scottish Pound a la Egyptian Pound.

The Olympics team will be f****d - what will that be called?

We need a catchy name for the alliance between England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The Kingdom Of Engwani
