    More importantly 1st May 2020 was the 317th anniversary of the Act of Union when a bankrupt Scotland asked for a political union with England.

    It was your idea Scotland, your idea :)

    Thanks for that. I never knew. Interesting and something I was never told of when at school.
    Sorry Stephen Dawson you lost me with your cryptic South American statement. I thought you had just lost it and was just blethering.
    I am now more educated than I was an hour ago.
