What do people think? Should they be allowed to leave just because the idiots who dislike Andy Murray have their way? Or should they be forced to stay in the Union for perhaps the same reason? It's a bit like the death penalty isn't it really? Should we murder them or make them endure life imprisonment. I've always liked the Scotch myself (apart from Gordon Greer last Saturday). They've produced some superb talents that have contributed for both Brighton and the UK. Liam Bridcutt springs to mind. He'll be paying even more tax than he wants to now at Sunderland, both benefitting himself (higher wages) and the Exchequer. Craig Mackail-Smith has been an excellent ambassador for the club too. He is also Scotch. I think the Albion have a lot to lose with the very real and dangerous threat of scotch independence. What do others think?

I do hate the term "scottish". You're either scotch or you're not. And I think that most of the scotch would agree. Anything.........ish......well it's half hearted isn't it?

At first cared, now I don't.

What I do find funny is that the SNP are crying for independence from the UK, but don't mind keeping the currency that's regulated and assured by the bank of England. F-Off

Items yes, but not all items. Eggs can be scotch when they are deep fried obviously.

Er ok I'll try. But I'm quite a fan of getting things historically and gramattically correct. And the Scotch are Scotch.

I would respectfully disagree. I believe the Scots do not like the term as applied to themselves.

Wikipedia seems to agree:

Scotch*is an*adjective*meaning "of*Scotland". In Scotland the modern usage in Scotland isScottish*or*Scots, and the word "Scotch" is only applied to specific products, mostly food or drink, such as*Scotch whisky,*Scotch pie,*Scotch broth, and*Scotch eggs. "Scotch" applied to people is widely considered pejorative in Scotland, reflecting old Anglo-Scottish antagonisms, but it is still widely used in England and*Ireland, and is in common use inNorth America.

Can the young girls still play Hop Scotch in the schools if they break away. That would be sad if they can't.
