After this weeks vote should the Scots decide in favour of
independence, will our friends North of the border still be
welcome to post on here without the OT prefix?




It's really a fact now that it seems that the majority of posts
are technically off topic. It's about time the AGW brigade set up
their own newsgroup, as most of what's posted is hardly UK
related IMHO.




I vote Scots in AGW out.




DM. Yorkshire Wolds.




Just exactly are you alienating here?



Our friends who are not true members of this newsgroup or some
fictional characters that no longer think of Yorkshire as over the
border?



How far is Yorkshire from over the border anyway?

And what exactly is or are Scots in AGW out?


It's quite simple really, a tongue in cheek response to this weeks
referendum, but I would very much miss our contributions from North
of the border, but not the incessant rambling and bickering about
AGW, which doesn't really belong here. Not trying to alienate
anyone.

I've no idea why you're bringing Yorkshire into the equation.


If my nationality ever comes up in conversation, I usually say
(only-half-tongue-in-cheek), "First,Yorkshire-man; Second British". I
don't feel particularly "English" because I don't know what that means.
