Dont be vague ask Hague!! Clever Not really an old Whisky Advert from my time in Glasgow. BTW you call Glasgow "Dear Green Place" I think my cousin's wife from Mallaig, she's a native Gaelic speaker, said it translates as the "Valley of the Birches" Am I getting muddled with somewhere else?

I know Oz! Don't be vague, ask for Haig Fortunately I never did, can't stand the stuff... Never heard the Valley of the Birches thing. Glaschu from the Gaelic means blue-green valley as far as I'm aware.

From Salmond's Hugo Young speech tonight: "...Incidentally, for the Foreign Secretary’s benefit, he should know that receptions to promote Scotch whisky or any other goods at British embassies are charged by the foreign office! But I rather suspect that the whisky industry would in any case get by without the promotional efforts of the British foreign service."

Yeah, that was from last weekend's Sunday Herlad... much of which had its colours nailed firmly to the Salmond mast. It was stuffed full of pro-independence, or at the very least, pro-Scotland articles.

Re the Case Against; and the latest tactic employed by the Unionist parties that inward investment would suffer.
Well, I can only give a personal opinion of the sector I work in of course, but I've spent a frankly ridiculous amount of hours this week communing with 200 international delegates who flock to Scotland to book our music talent via Celtic Connections 'export' wing, Showcase Scotland.
Of course our guests are acutely aware of the independence issue, it's the hot topic of conversation this year. Yet, not one has expressed anything LIKE a negative view of the effect our future independence might have.
We're open for business and so are they.

Michelle Mone, OBE, has made HER case against. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-16779891You wonder how the 10% of her employees in Scotland feel about that. Turkeys voting for Christmas comes to mind. The remaining 90% of MJM's staff are employed in China. However all views from the business community are welcome on the run up to the vote. I hope the girl's up for taking up Alex Salmond's offer of a meeting to discuss business tax then makes her decision on the facts, rather than the speculation.

In May 2007, Mishel MOAN said she would leave Scotland if the SNP won the election - she's still fukkin here and still sookin lemons She's jist a pain in the erse (always has been) with a profile 120% higher than her door dip warrants

Personally, when someone like Ms Moan comes out with "If Scotland goes...I'm off." It kind of makes me wish that Salmond would call the thing tomorrow - that we win and I'd go down to her offices and help her pack up her stuff...
