LOL - we're a poor socialist country I know - we accept that. If I was a raging Braveheart I'd ask for the effing billions back from Scottish waters that kept Maggie afloat.
The waters that have made Norway a nice rich place. But we were tied together at the time so London/SE was able to take advantage and fair enough - youz won in 1746, take the profits in 1970s
We can stand on 2 as a poor, underpriveleged nation angus.
