Whats the rent like for a 1 or 2 bedroom over there , half decent one not a hut

few hundred euros a month

depends who's renting it out. Not normally if it's a private rental, just a deposit.

What country wouldn't want to be independent?

Have to laugh about all this Scottish oil Salmond goes on about. In Shetland they want their independence too and they want their oil!

If there was oil in the Thames, would Scotland claim any of it?

shirley thats england would claim anything, falklands, gibraltar, scotlands oil etc etc

Maggie got back in on the back of the Falklands, she was a gonner leading up to it & she knew it.
Ruthless woman she was.

How regularly are they going to vote until they get the right answer? Seems like a big waste of uk funds.

The yes voters can't even do basic arithmetic. Lets look at this little gem.

Last year Scotland provided £800 more in tax per person that the UK average. This means Scotland would have been £8.3 billion better off as an independent country over the past 5 years. We could have spent that money investing in our economy with the same debt levels as the rest of the UK or saved it and had £8.3 billion less debt."
Scotland runs a deficit including the oil income. Yes it PAYS more tax than average but takes OUT more than average. Each Scot recives £1300 MORE than the average for the UK. To work out if you're in profit you take the income, subtract the outgoing. You cannot make any statement about the net situation without reference to what Scotland gets back.
£800 more in, £1300 more back.
The "Scotland pays more than the average which means it's being cheated and would be rich" lie is just typical SNP misleading information, as they of course never mention the expenditure so the figures are meaningless.

All this crap bout being "rich" is just fantasy.

BnB everybody in Scotland is well stocked in popcorn, jelly and ice-cream for another event that will happen in the next couple of weeks

If it's a yes I'll be p1ssed for days. Start as you mean to go on and all that.

Former prime minister Gordon Brown has said an independent Scotland would become "an international outcast" if it refused to accept a share of UK debt.

In a speech in Coatbridge on Monday night, Mr Brown said refusing to take on debt would be considered as a "default".

He said this would push up interest rates and the cost of borrowing.

The SNP says Scotland cannot be liable for a debt the UK government has accepted full responsibility for.

Believe which Scot you want

.they may be able to negotiate with the parent country on future and previous investments.ie scottish water is not scottish scottish power is not scottish the royal bank of scotland is not scottish.if you have a royal bank of scotland £20 note then the lender of last resort is the royal bank of scotland and NOT  the bank of england and also the royal bank of scotland is owned by the uk govt through their bailout of it

rareley have I read such piffle. For a start, the govt does not own 80% of RBS, the people do, and unless you've had your head up your arse for the last 20 tears, you'd know that RBS, although registered in Scotland, conducts most of its business elsewhere. "parent country" I thought we were meant to be equal partners?

I just don't understand it. What country wouldn't want to be independent? It makes no sense to me

people in general are afraid of change...to make a change takes some 'emotional effort', for want of a better phrase, whereas retaining the staus quo doesnt...change often comes only when to retain the staus quo is so unpalatable as to make change inevitable..i wouldnt say that's the case in this instance...any Scots that have been relatively happy with their lot will naturally think hard before voting for a step into the unknown

[i am not Scottish and have a neutral viewpoint (other than it wont make life any easier for the left-wing (as was!) down here at election time if the Scottish voters have gone)]

Why say you dont understand it if you do understand it?..f00kin' Jocks

A rhetorical question is a figure of speech in the form of a question that is asked in order to make a point.

I was making a point but that still doesn't mean I understand why a Scot would vote against Independence. However, I wasn't looking for an answer because there is no answer, don't you see? From my point of view there is no possible answer.

Sometimes people are so far apart in their views that there can be no compromise. There can be no agreement. We cant be half independent.

Oh and ignore brednbutter, he's a numpty I was messing with earlier. He was talking sh!t all over this thread so I decided to wind him up bit, it works so well that he was too scared to say anything for 8 hours, then he finally came back with a snivelling cowardly retort. Hilarious really. It appears he's feeling brave again

OnePercenter

I couldn't agree more. I am 100% for English Independence. Every nation that calls itself such should govern itself or else give up nationhood altogether.
