They bleat on about it on the news but the sad fact of the matter is, those people in England who can understand the news, couldnt give a rat's ass weather Scotland, Ireland, Wales or even the Isle of Whight floated off into the sunset, regardless of whatever political hoo-haa gets kicked up.

Now, don't let me come across as indifferent or some sort of nationalistic type, i have roots in Wales, Scotland, England, New Zeland and Germany making me a true British mongrel but in these enlightened, multicultural times, does it really matter?

tbh most of the YES voters ive spoken to are either die hard anti english ( I'm actually english but been in scotland 25 years ) or are so fed up of politics they have given up on westminister..... which is understandable. most are saying.... could it be any worse - the unfortunate truth is possibly but if that happens we will all flock south - if its better you will all come north - a very odd setup indeed.

Do you think we could convince an independent scotland to scrap car tax based on emissions and put a flat rate of £100 per year? And that all CATS are evil? - no not the furry type!
Worth a shot hahahaha - maybe tv licence could also be binned......wait tho, how will we pay mp fake expenses then pmfsl

Extracting that many ponies from a T5 costs a hell of a lot of money. And then there's the fuel bill lol

bertbuckie · May 24th, 2014, 15:56

ppfftttt fuel bill...... mine only does maybe 200 miles a month max lol

Noticed my new exhaust after 50 miles is BLACK inside the 3" exits already.... ordered some 10k boost and have some turbo cleaner.... inotec - but not used yet

She does sound nice tho..... not a drone at all but a nice deep burble if you nail it
