Wonder if Scots will have trouble getting TEFL jobs if the Yes campaign wins. If you have to say Scottish instead of UK that could put a few employers off.

I have trouble understanding what half of them are saying Very Happy

They could certainly end up having trouble getting jobs in the EU if they don't manage to negotiate their own membership quickly after a yes vote. I personally think it will be a no vote based purely on what the bookies are offering.

Has there been any definitive answer to the whole EU membership question? Lots of conflicting reports saying that Scotland would remain an EU member, in the same way that RofUK will remain a member , even though the union ceases legally. Others say that Scotland needs to be approved by all other member states in order for it to join/re-join.

I hope at least they'll get their missing t back... : )

The UK is already in and doesn't need to join but Scotland would become a 'new' country in 2016 and would need to satisfy the criteria. The Spanish are angry about the referendum stirring up problems for them and have said they would try to veto Scottish membership. Latest betting is 7/2 for yes and 1/5 for no with Ladbrokes so I think no is getting more and more likely.

The Yes campaign seem very vague about some of the big decisions for the future. They're expecting people to vote with their hearts rather than their heads.
I'd think Alec Salmond just telling everyone that the future will be prosperous and trouble free isn't good enough for a largely well-educated electorate.

Who knows though !

I dunno. It all seems vague. Scotland did join the EU, as a country in the UK. At least that is the argument I have heard. Might as well ask the new country of RofUK to re-apply too...

Today is the D-day for Scotland, who will be the next King of Scotland? Laughing

1. Alex Salmond
2. David Cameron
3. Franz Duke of Bavaria (descended from James I, who united the English and Scottish thrones in 1603).
