Anglo~Scottish Border Controls Debate

[Arthur Little]

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

Personally, I don't think it will happen ... at least, I HOPE not! ... but it's worrying all the same.

[Dedworth]

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

[Arthur Little]

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

[imagine]

will i be exiled

[Arthur Little]

will i be exiled

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

[grahamw48]

I have two spare rooms guys.

[Terpe]

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

[grahamw48]

Where on earth are they going to accommodate all the Scots we'll be deporting ?

... bury 'em under Hadrian's Wall, , perhaps?

[grahamw48]

They do seem to be doing a lot of work on it at the moment Arthur.

scotlands a bigger country than you think, plenty room

even more room when they deport the english

[grahamw48]

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.

I have some rather alcohol-clouded memories of learning to ski at Aviemore one Christmas and New Year Arthur.

1978.

[grahamw48]

1979....'upgraded' to Italy.

... 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?

nice photo, just the same!

[grahamw48]

Probably. lol

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

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.

Oh well ... ... 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!

[Arthur Little]

chasing Sheep

... alas, you're confusing US with the Welsh

[Arthur Little]

Grouse....

... that's me, !

Hmm ... ... 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 's concerned.
