On the Manchester Evening news justgiving site alone donations are nearly at a over £240,000 for the dogs home.
Now that is the side of humanity that makes me proud to be British, the side that stops me from being ashamed of being human.

Re Scotland: I'm neither living in Scotland nor born there so I have no right to state what I'd like but an observation if you'll allow..the banks/financial institutions and retail outlets will charge what they can get away with..supply and demand and use any excuse therein to justify it. Banks will move/stay/charge interest rates as to what is good for them and their shareholders....no decision will be based on the needs of people, just on what will give them the best financial rewards for balancing (or not) their books.
Fairclare made a point about M and S in Gibraltar. I lived in Gib for quite a few years and she's right. Tesco/M and S/BHS/ Liptons (and oldy but a goody) all charged more because of supply/demand. Most of the goods sold came across the border from Spain but people loved these shops....of course the perfume/booze and cigs etc were dramaticaly cheaper so.....

When I watch the celebrity quiz programmes etc on tv I have a big on my face when the contestants say they donating to the animals :T So few seem to do

Dogs home needing food and treats hope supermarkets , petshops etc send them loads donations

Good morning all, cloudy one here.

Looking at the debate about "independence" last night I have three questions.

Why do the rest of us in the UK not get a vote? It affects us as much as it does the Scots. Is it because he believes he would be kicked out rather quickly?

Why does Salmond not want real independence? He wants to keep the pound which would mean we would have control of the Scottish economy, and he seems convinced he will still be in Europe in which case he would be a loooooong way from independent.

Why do scots not see his bluster when the only answer he has to something is to accuse people of bullying?

It has been interesting to see the debates but it has created divisions which will take a long time to resolve, whatever the outcome (within Scotland as well as between Scotland and the rest of the UK). It does seem that anything that is said by individuals, politicians, business, banks and experts that does not support the Yes campaign is shouted down as scaremongering - when from what I can see Alex et al won't believe what politicians say on currency apart from putting his fingers in his ears like a kid and not listening, won't believe the Bank ôf England on currency union ... big business comes out highlighting the risks saying they will have to move to England/costs will go up etc but apparently they are just saying that to scare people ... Even £2billion being wiped off share prices and a drop in sterling (thank you :mad:) hasn't made the Yes campaign see what might happen and the vote hasn't happened yet. If Yes, there are major risks and challenges for all of us for a number of years, if No then Scotland gets more devolution and English, Welsh and Northern Irish voters will also expect a fair deal for us too .

The problem is that across the UK we have no say yet our savings/pensions/shares/currency are being affected (from a financial perspective) and if the vote is Yes and OUR Union is broken up and damaged as a result, which would create further tensions in our United Kingdom and Great British family, I feel we would all collectively be worse off. So please, if you have a vote, vote No and be proud to be Scottish and British ... and we can then get back to glitches :A ('cos if you vote Yes, who knows what would happen to glitches if there is even more differential pricing and different systems - they can be unpredictable depending on location at the best of times ).

DH was born in Scotland so figures he has a right to be very vocal about the whole thing (most of it going straight over my head) it's driving me potty!
He said if he had a vote it would be no.
I say let them make their bed and lay in it

Morning all :wave:

Bubbs hope your painkillers kick in quickly :A

I ordered some handcuffs off amazon yesterday for DS to go with his policeman outfit...he's upset because they haven't dropped through the letterbox this morning

So he's consoling himself with his pirate book, and has just asked me to show him videos of ships cannons going boom :eek:

Need to get my bottom into gear as car off to garage for a new radiator...hate to think how much £££

I agree with most of your post apart from one tiny bit the no campaign are as bad as the yes campaign and as for businesses first we had 100 odd backing no in a letter then a few days later we had 200 backing yes in a letter
Last night we had Asda and John Lewis saying prices will rise but then we had Tesco Morrison's Aldi and Lidl say not necessarily so which side do we believe
