    Will all the Jocks on STW have to go through some sort of vetting programme if independence come to fruition?

    Will there be a flag of national identity beside your name to indicate whether your opinion counts in various discussions?

    Will there need to be a special STW(scotland)?

    Or will we continue to be one big happy moutain biking family?

    Can I assume the use of the term Jock means you are not Scottish?
    When can Wales become independant?

    yep that special wheel standard will have a new hope freehub pawl that just moans all the time instead of a nice warm clicking sound warning walkers you are coming 🙂

    Whenever they want to, as long as they don’t expect continuing ‘transitional payments’ from we english to ease them into independance. Oh, and they can shoulder their fair share of the UK deficit as well…

    Nope, sorry Don, Jock. Well, half Jock, half Mick but hey.

    Was trying to raise a smile as it’s cold up here but chuff it the commentators are too busy being bored by old topics but not opening new ones.

    Sigh indeed.

    As the UK of GB&NI will no longer exist, you’d better start registering those .rUK websites….

    Does the same apply for sassenach?

    I think the current preference is for .sco

    I don’t know if there has been a similar move to get .eng allocated for England, but I know that Wales lost out on .cym (Cayman Isles got it IIRC)

    My Mother in Law would call me a Sassenach. It’s a generic term for “southerner” and refers to “Saxons”.

    As for the use of “Jock”, I believe that current legislation is along the lines of “if someone thinks it’s offensive, then it is“.

    OK then I find Sassenac offensive. Expect a call from the police druidh..you’re going daaaaaaarn

    I’ve used wee ghillie jocko’s before and been castigated here. When I read it in the 80’s I thought it was the funniest thing ever and still do today. Do you grow out of rascism?

    Judging by what is “acceptable” in the playground but not in adult life you grow into most ‘isms.

    Druidh – with regards to the term Sassenach, i always understood it to be a term used by those who came to be known as highlanders to denote the people of what is now Southern Scotland as they were Saxon invaders/settlers. As Scotland was not a Nation at that point (And England was in it’s birth pangs) so it was a term for one ethnic grouping to denote another – foriegn – ethnic group.

    Am i right as i understand this?

    P.S. Does the term have any connection to the Welsh ‘Saisnegg’ (Spelling?) as they both appear to mean ‘Saxon’?

    Well, the Lakes were originally part of the Kingdom of Strathclotha/Strathclyde i believe, but seeing as they are a huge draw for rich yanks then bugger off and concern yourself with getting some poxy no-mark border town (and it’s football club) back into Scotland… 😛

    EDIT: McBlitzkrieg with what aircraft exactly? is there an industry in Scotland building those giant inflatable pigs that Pink Floyd used? 😆

    McBlitzkrieg? Is that a result of too many Deep Fried Mars Bars?
