Getting a rise out of an Englishman? But we are known for our laconic self deprecation!
Whilst I believe the majority of English folk wished to maintain the Union, there is a move now being discussed in Parliament for English MPs to vote on English matters and Scots MPs to vote on Scottish matters and narry the two to meet. They would continue to vote on party lines with regard to other matters of general concern.
I believe Lagopus had his tongue in his cheek when he implied the English would be happy to see the back of the Scots - we love 'em really!
Any way, last time I heard about Watson waiting/ordering times was two years, but that was several years back.
