    ....why argue about all the what ifs/buts etc before the decision has been made on Thursday/Friday.

    Arguing after the fact is too late. If doubt about entering UK (ok, be pedantic, RUK) competitions can persuade one person to vote NO, my job is done! A yes vote will be, in so many ways, an unmitigated disaster.

    Did you just call me Snake...? :eek: :eek:

    Or did Snake write something he then deleted?...

    :undecided

    Yep, Snake deleted the post to which I replied without quote. Sorry for any confusion!

    It was something about there not being a UK anymore.

    (There will of course still be a UK or Rest of UK RUK at the very least)

    I would agree - for both Scotland, and the remaining UK countries. The companies Scotland is relying on for independent economic success are all talking about re-locating their headquarters to England... don't think the yes voters saw that coming.

    I doubt anyone would be so small minded as to base their children's future on whether they can enter a competition or not.

    Hmmm, all those mothers who have named their kids things like Beyonce, Rhianna and Shakira probably would base their vote on that..... :p Submitting your kids to a lifetime of teasing for their name is so much worse than submitting them to an independent Scotland. Even with fried Mars Bars as the national dish. ;)
