The Jocks

[Guest77]

They have voted to stay as partners with the rest of the UK, they won't get another vote for at least 50 years, so lets forget all about it and raise a glass of whisky to the Jocks for giving us the English north sea oil, well done lads

Ha ha cheeky bugger! That's democracy as they say. 55% (100%?) of us scots are clearly no right in the head. A missed opportunity for me am afraid. Still, looking forward to paying for my share of HS2 that doesn't go past Birmingham!!

I little slightly related story.......about whisky.
You know I'm a Scot , of course.
The missus and I had a long weekend in Dublin a few years ago. We did, as one does, some of the touristy things.

This included the Jameson distillery.
The guide seemed to take great delight in extolling how smooth the triple distilled tipple was compared to the Scotch version.

How I wish I'd done my homework prior to the visit! I might just have knocked the wind out of his sails.

John Jameson, who established the Dublin distillery and, after whom the brand is named, was a Scot.

It was going to end at Crewe, now you have decided to stay with us we might allow it to go to Edinburgh lol

i thought it was ending at manchester. reason being that the mancs would nick the rails if it went as far as moss side.

If it got as far as Moss Side it would be a scene from the wild west with the locals shooting at the train

I think the Scots should be spending some of the Barnett formula "gold", on upgrading the A9 so its a dual carriageway, to Inverness and beyond
