That's an extremely good point, not silly at all. It could really hugger mugger up negotiations, with parties competing for the Scottish vote. But don't the Irish all come over en masse anyway to muck elections up? Totally ridiculous :mad:.

How does that work ? Irish nationals voting ? in UK elections ? genuine question

With a 'yes' vote, there are certainties: it is certain Scotland will be independent. And it avoids all the risks of staying in the Union.

It is not at all certain that Scotland will be independent with a yes vote, I don't know many people who would call a shared currency true independence. And it doesn't avoid all the so-called 'risks' of staying in the union, and it certainly adds a fair few more risks of its own. It's all a big unknown really, which is why the politicians' promises on both sides are daft, because no-one can guarantee what will happen in an unknown future situation.

As someone who works in exports, I look at the comments from other countries saying that they want to deal with a united country and take that seriously as a representation of how an independent Scotland's economic future would go. I cannot see how other countries would take Scotland seriously as a business partner. If I tell my customers I'm Welsh, not English, they look at me like I've got two heads because it doesn't mean anything to them, and I can see it being the same with Scotland. I mean North Korea is one of the main countries who have suggested they would welcome an independent Scotland, that's hardly reassuring from an economic perspective is it? :eek:

Coupon shop - [STRIKE]Pizza still N/A v Morries.[/STRIKE]

Edit - didn't look properly, it's picked up the Speciale :j

:think:

Did it ever pick up the Hawai'i in M? I think that was the one that M's didn't stock last time (obviously a lot of time has passed though)

I'm wondering if all the Dr O's have somehow been programmed onto apg as being on a multibuy in M and so it's coming back n/a for some people that buy in 2s

Has anyone else done an APG with an odd number of pizzas today?

I'll finish this for now - obviously the debate (just about) continues.

Just hearing Jim Murphy say "Patriotism isn't on the ballot paper and neither is the status quo."

What if people want the status quo?:think::think:
They've disenfranchised a group of people that might want the status quo, have they not, I wonder.

Hello :wave:

Anyone planning to use their £10 off £40 coupon in Waities might be interested to know that the £40 spend is before all multibuys are taken off.

Also their Essential beef mince (10% fat) is usually on the list of items with 10% off for My Waitrose card holders but currently has 25% off.
What actually happens is both the discounts come off when you buy multiples of 2 :T

So its £3.49 or 2 for £6
multibuy of 98p comes off
then further discount of £2.20 made up of 25% (£1.50) and 10% of the £6.98 (70p)

Actual price for two packs is £3.80

:wave: All

AMMat158, Thanks for this. I got some tonight, just in time for whoopsies too. 3 lots of 3 for £10 chicken breast fillets down to 49p each :T

If I was English and Scotland broke away I would boycott as many Scottish products in favour of English as possible. Why help another country set itself up at the expense of your own country?

not sure if it's any good.

It's not 'silly' at all, it's democracy. But I know what you were aiming at. There are political repercussions of this too, some of which would be 'interesting' to see. Such as the lack of authority that a Cameron-led government (and I presume so, given that the polls do not suggest a Labour government at all) would command in its dying days in Scotland. Wonder why they have Gordon Brown rather than the current Prime Minister trying to make the arguments:think:. At least Scotland would avoid having to pay for MPs in the House of Commons and avoid paying for the House of Lords after that. The point is there are savings from independence and not just costs as the No side like to suggest.

Nick Robinson said the other day that Mr Cameron might next be visiting Scotland as "the leader of a soon-to-be foreign country". I thought that was quite sort-of-attractive and, not wanting to trivialise things, would be quite enjoyable to see. But there are certainly more important issues than that at stake - merely that that is just a further reason at the end, just an added little bit, onto all the other reasons for voting "Yes". In fact Mr Salmond does not see this as being a foreign country, due to what it says in the Edinburgh agreement (the agreement that set in train the referendum) - Dimbleby interview yesterday on BBC ONE. So, just to note that the SNP (or leader of it) doesn't actually agree with the outset proposition. Even so, if I had a vote, I would vote Yes - though I think it is right that Scotland decides its own future. (Though, indirectly, it decides the rest of the UK's future too.)

Indeed, it's not something you can correct in four or five years. Therefore, I hope Scotland votes for independence rather than making the mistake of rejecting that and being unable to correct it in four/five years' time. Take the opportunity now!

They have Gordon Brown because he's Scottish himself and he has a vested interest because he lives there. He's directly affected. Having a non scot leading the No campaign would have gone down like a lead balloon :eek:

As for the voting in the general election.....how else can it be done? Scotland still has to be represented at Westminster whilst they are part of the UK and rightly so. To change that would be a huge undertaking that would mean lots of negotiating and a lengthy process to get any change through parliament.
