Well I guess I'll be able to drive in Scotland.

April Fool

And from 2017 in an independent Scotland everything must be battered. Not just Mars Bars and wives.

But I can't really work out why this is supposed to be an April Fool. I would have thought it was exactly what would happen.

I always thought of the Scot Nats been further to the left but I may be wrong!

It would not surprise me if they pulled down all the road signs and replaced them with gaelic-only signs.

They wasted nearly three quarters of a million quid making them bilingual the other year.

sounds as tho they rejected the Norwegian suggestion of switching cars on day 1 leaving trucks to switch on day two (motor bikes weren't considered as they never drive on the right side of the road anyway)

Nice one Alpie, I like it!! - BUT Wales isn't a Kingdom so isn't on the Union flag YET!!! We 'll see how the Scots get on and then perhaps we'll have a go too.

The current Unon flag has only been in place since 1801: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Jack
