The No Voters

[2sp_]

Two friends of mine from South of the border are concerned that if we vote Yes next month a) speaking Gaelic will be compulsory and b) Marks and Spencer will close all Scottish stores.

I despair.

[Buenchico]

They should get their facts right!

From what I've heard, the only significant cultural change will be that all children will be given compulsory lessons on trapping and skinning wild haggis.

[Khandro]

I believe Marks & Spencer will remain open, but only serving people speaking Gaelic and paying in dinars.

[Hopkirk]

How ridiculous.

M&S have had branches overseas for years.

[askyourgran]

Tough choices 2sp. I'll share my Mars Bar with you if you'll stay.

[Jeza]

Should they stay or should they go. I don't give a fig, there are more important things going on in my life.

[2sp_]

Will you all still speak to me if we do go? Promise I'll do it in English.

[Tilly2]

I will.

[Hopkirk]

Speak to you?

We're all coming to stay, for our foreign holidays.

[Jeza]

So will I 2sp but I'm confident the vote will be a resounding no.

[2sp_]

I'll hoover the spare room, Hopkirk.

But you may be advised to only drink bottled water, and avoid any ice cubes.

[Obiter]

If speaking Gaelic becomes compulsory then a putative future Scottish Education dept. will have its work cut out as 98% of people in Scotland don't know a single word of that language.

[Baldric]

BA given after 4 posts, not worth going on!

[anneasquith]

it just goes to show by the op, the rubbish being circulated re the ' vote' :(

[Dee Sa]

Alex do dar has visions of grandeur, luckily only visions he aint gonna win.

[stuey]

When people speak Gaelic, does their breath reek of it?

[Obiter]

PMSL @ Stuey.

Salmond can't even speak English, never mind Gaelic. Johnston's of Elgin may lose one of their biggest customers if M and S migrate out of Scotland to Israel.
