Another interesting decision coming up soon:

British arms maker 'mulling closure of historic dockyard'

British arms manufacturer BAE Systems said it was reviewing its warship business but refused to comment on a newspaper report that it was set to close the historic Portsmouth dockyard.
.
.
It has yards on the Clyde in Scotland, at Scotstoun and Govan, and at Portsmouth.
.
.
A company spokeswoman said: "As part of our business planning activity, we are reviewing how best to retain the capability to deliver and support complex warships in the UK in the future.
[my bold]

Faced with the possibility of Scottish independance, I wouldn't put too much money on Portsmouth closing.
