But we also have the highest incidence of drug abuse, child poverty, and a lower life expectancy that other parts of the UK. Everywhere has its issues.
I'm still a supporter of independence though. Mostly because Scotland doesn't have a strong voice in the UK: we never vote Tory, we didn't want to leave the EU, and so many shite ideas are piloted here.
I will reply to your comment in the 'our art' thread soon. Its all systems go over here. Interview on Thursday and my daughter starts school tomorrow. Exciting times!
Just found out that I am of Scottish heritage! Super pleased because I have always loved Scotland and the Scottish people - and, I have never voted Tory, and I voted remain.
Man, I need to visit Scotland one day. Edinburgh and Glasgow are my top destinations. Need to do a better job in deciphering that Glaswegian accent first though..
Oh Don't worry too much about replying. Good luck to your daughter. First day of school can be a little nerve racking. She seems like the type that handles new environments reasonably well.
