WHAT'S IN A NAME?

Those well versed in geography will be aware that several countries that were once part of Yugoslavia now describe themselves as Macedonia, FYR (denoting: Former Yugoslav Republic) etc.
 
 So, If Scotland gains its independence after the forthcoming referendum,  the remainder of the United Kingdom will be known as the "Former United Kingdom" (FUK).
 
 In a bid to discourage Scots from voting 'yes' in the referendum, the Government has now begun to campaign with the slogan:
 
 "Vote NO for FUK's sake"
 
 Are we all OK with that?

I would love to have a FUK (continuing with the same meaning), I would certainly be voting YES if I could.

I know it was a long time ago, but for a long long time, all men every-where wore skirts.  They used to knit in Scotland, too.  Where do you think those lovely Aran jumpers came from ?

Cheers,

Sheba.
