The problem is that it will soon be a historical document - a curiosity after independence, when teachers will tell children how stupid the Scottish media once were.<br /><br />But if things go a different way, I quite fancy it for my tombstone, although the cost of the inscription will be high.

Efficiently enough that in Burns' time they British exchequer was pulling in £800,000 per year... enough to pay for their wars in France against Napoleon. <br /><br />Scots soldiers and Scottish money. <br /><br />Blood and war is our payment for selling out our country.Steviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18226832161404154663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554094839017805685.post-55479324046184451842011-11-07T19:54:53.106+00:002011-11-07T19:54:53.106+00:00Thanks, Barontorc - were you sitting comfortably? ...Thanks, Barontorc - were you sitting comfortably?
