Independent Scotland
Date Posted: 11.38hrs on Thu 26 Apr 07
So if Scotland does move towards independence that will mean England becomes even more dominated by Southern Softies.
At what stage could we in northern England apply to become Scottish ?
The current border needn't be fixed for ever. In the past it has fluctuated between Preston and Glasgow.
We could move all the nice bits of England back into Scotland again ie. Cumbria, Northumberland, Durham, even North Yorkshire. That would mean all the lift served real skiing in one country !

That would also bring some more quite respectable mountain biking into Scotland. Provided you don't mind having stop to open lots of gates..
Would it not create a bit of friction though if parts of Yorkshire were in Scotland and Lancashire was left behind in England? Or is that a good thing?

I'll agree with that one aboot the lassies from Northern England...
Mrs Hustler is a Lancashire lass.
And she's git-hard...
Just a pity the MTBing ain't great in Lanacshire. Guess we'll just have to leave that county outside of the new expanded, independant and very happy Scotland.
