    Maybe - 55% to 45% doesn't sound settled. I heard speeches calling this issue settled for a generation, but it may come back much sooner. Especially if promises made aren't kept.

    Well, latest news is, Alex Salmond, Scotlands' Minister of Whatever, Flounced out of his post. Sore Loser. I'm looking to see if he was wearing kilts & carrying a bagpipe when he turned in his keys to the washroom. I'll bet he was a bit hung over, though. Go home & sleep it over--they'll be expecting you bright & early, Monday Morning.

    Gotta say I was disappointed by the outcome of the vote but, like with Northern Ireland, if the majority want to remain part of the UK then I guess that's what they want.

    Yes. It's interesting to hear the views of foreigners but, ultimately, it is our views that matter and the majority vote rules!
