We've got a bunch of Spaniards that like to fish in our waters...maybe we could stick guns on their trawlers?

As a Plymouthian, I'm confident they'd lose.

Unfortunately you're probably right enough.

Ultimately, I'd follow my head.
Yes, Perth is nice. Stayed there for a year when I was 17 and at college there. When were you up? You weren't in wickes by any chance? Because I might have served you.

I'm sure Sterling's a bloody lovely place, but I've never been there myself.

You're thinking of one part of weegieland. If you're honest, being a fatty is an English problem too, we're just a little ahead!

About two years ago, so not long. I remember the missus coming up and complaining how cold it was at the festival. "It's bloody August!" she'd say...

Edinburgh's a cool place to be if you're a child of the Enlightenment; I maintain that its place in the western psyche is afforded not nearly enough prominence.

PMSL (and I can't remember the last time I said that on NSR as not many funny occurences take place around these parts these days...)

So true Kenny

What does being Scottish even mean in these times of Immigration etc? I believe half the illegals are sent to estates in Scotland to live on benefits? Are they 'Scottish'?

Are all "Londoners" "English"?

Exactly, they're sent to the areas it's too late to save anyway. It's part of the master plan which will hopefully see the anglo-saxon race dominant once again.

I imagine that just like the other politicians they are also looking forward to an eventual very high Eu salary and expenses, and we will be the losers!
