Had to think about this one.

It would probably be the weather forecast as Scotland takes up at least two thirds of the time. It gets mentioned at least a dozen times by the busty Scottish woman doing it what with all the showers, gale force winds and spent hurricanes from America. As this occurs mostly north of Glasgow, there are only a few hardy souls living there and they know what to expect anyway.
After the referendum I would like to think that Milton Keynes will get more of a mention, or even Slough for that matter.

If I was an Ingerlander with any sense,I'd be hoping for a 'no' vote.

Hope that helps.

The weather map.

No I would miss the banter of the English claiming to support the Scots, whilst the Scots eventually rival Norway and Luxembourg for the  richest country in Europe tag, and as global warming kicks in and sea levels rise, the Jocks will be perched up on their Scottish mountains laughing and pointing at the English drowningCry

Report Wallflower • September 12, 2014 4:15 AM BST
.....very sad.

.........I wonder how the Scots will actually feel when they vote NO and realise what they have done, the opportunity missed - handed their significant resources to Westminster. No sense of excitement, no sense of a nation on a journey. The embarrasment that so many of them were motivated by either fear or bribery. The country most similar to them, Norway is the wealthiest in the world - their "region" is an economic blackspot.....who somehow are to be grateful (but I believe the realisation of something not quite right has been brought into the spotlight).

.....also, the awareness (and its completely irrelevant whether its right or wrong) that most of the world will regard them as  somewhat "cowardly", "dim-witted" or both - the only so-called "nation" that didn't vote for Independence. Their  "sent them home to think again" etc viewed as as a joke.

....obviously nearly half of them will be sad and I suppose angry to some extent, but what about the "No" voters when the "new powersLaugh" for Scotland get delayed and diluted, and then it will be nothing that really matters that much anyway. Scotland goes onto the back pages - the ruling English elite continue squander their resources (I mean FFS one of the reasons it was difficult for Scotland to break away was the level of debt they would have to assume - was the question - how in the name of God have got into this mess?).

......the economics of 2014 were irrelevant anyway, all resolvebale - it was about having a different economic model in a very different world in 2100.
