    Yes, we could, but the round trip would cost more than the max interest the account would earn.

    We are planning to find a branch when we are on holiday next year.

    Hmmmmm.........Wonder if we can use our bus passes to go from Glasgow to Carlisle?

    Being Scottish is not a race.
    Depends on how you define a "race" - if you take it as being a group of people sharing a common ancestry (the definition from the racial hate laws), then yes, indeed, "Scottish" is a race.

    You forgot to mention that none of our bridges have road tolls any more.


    My apologies, but just had an interesting mental image conjured by misreading "tolls" as "trolls"

    Frankie Boyle-esque creatures living on the roads beneath bridges, waiting to berate innocent tourists and passers-by? Don't worry, the SNP eradicated them.

    *cough*

    I also reckon that there is little in the way of money being saved by them.
