:omg: ... Home Secretary, Theresa May has strongly indicated :poke: that Scots could lose their British Passports - and
be denied dual nationality - if the vote for Independence is
carried, in next year's referendum. :doh

Personally, I don't think it will happen ... at least, I HOPE not! :nono-1-1:... but it's worrying :23_111_9[1]: all the same.

We need to renovate/update Hadrians Wall. I'd suggest using the former East - West German Border & Berlin Wall as a blueprint.......... death strip, watchtowers, attack dogs etc

:biggrin:

Now ... Mrs May ISN'T "God" :icon_rolleyes: ... even though she is renowned
for giving a pretty good impression of assuming the mantle of "The Man Upstairs"!

'Fraid so, Stewart! :yeahthat: ... back to Yorkshire. Moreover, :bigcry: it also means I'll be subject to Border Controls should I ever decide to visit you there! :yikes:

I wonder why somebody indicated Dual Nationality would not be allowed ?? That a drastic issue isn't it?

Personally I would be shocked to see the vote go the way of independence

I know. You can still see all the abandoned villages in the Highlands, from when they all moved to Glasgow and Edinburgh to find something to do apart from chasing Sheep and Grouse....on the land owned by the English. :icon_lol:

:cwm24: ... WOW! Did it really take all of 12 months to recover from your 1978 "blank-out" in Aviemore ... until you'd your picture taken amidst that background "blanket" of snow in the Alpine Region of Italy the following year, Graham? :biggrin:

:smile: nice photo, just the same!

Probably. lol

I don't think I even owned a camera on the Scottish Hogmanay piss-up though, so sadly that fortnight went unrecorded. :cwm3:

It has always been to my great regret that I didn't think to buy a camera until comparatively late in life, so my many earlier adventures and friends were not saved for posterity. :doh

Oh well ... :anerikke: ... ALL of us have our regrets, I suppose. But I'd have to say, you've certainly more than made up for it ever since!

Hmm ... :icon_rolleyes: ... on reflection, possibly my unbiased use of the word, "pretty", "may" [pun intended] be tantamount to something of a gross exaggeration in so far as this particular :oldlady:'s concerned. :icon_sorry:
