Re: Scottish Devolution
Can I just ask what the previous 6 or 7 posts have to do with the thread title? Also can I remind you all again, it's not about devolution it's about independence!

Re: 2015 UK General Election
Nick It would not be a viable proposition for Scotland to have its own nuclear deterrent (they would just shelter under England's) (patronising much) :hilarity: England doesn't have one! There is a 'nuclear deterrent' Based in Scotland that is controlled by America. Poll after poll shows that the p...

Re: Scottish Devolution
I've asked before but will ask again, (Nick) Why is England sooooo desperate to hold on to Scotland? And don't give me (again) That egalitarian excuse 'that it's for our own good'

(equivalent, of course- you won't have the pound) Getting tedious Nick, The pound belongs to Scotland every bit as much as it does to England and Wales. And for ffs forget the price of oil!

Re: BBC Focus Magazine - do you read it?
Sorry for being pedantic Compo but it is a science magazine and the scientific understanding of a lot of things have changed, not just from the magazines of 4/5 years ago but in some instances from last month or the one before, so I don't think re-reading is a good idea.

Re: BBC Focus Magazine - do you read it?
I've been reading Focus for some years (I have a mountain of them that I really should re-cycle) Not got the April issue yet though,
I have considered dumping it as about half the content is now given over to advertisements, grr!

Re: Swearing an oath on the wrong 'holy' book
The judge apparently 'made a mistake'
Seems you can swear on any book and it makes no odds
I wonder if they'll deduct the cost of the re-trial from the judges inflated salary? I won't hold my breath.

Re: Give prepayment meter customers a fairer deal
We have a prepay key meter (it came with the house) and I understand that it would cost us money to have this changed. Surely by paying for your leccy before you even use it is more beneficial to the provider than direct debit? Although on past experience of direct debit payments I know that they hu...
