I've just spent the afternoon with a group of foreign officers from the Middle East and Asia. Once they realised I was British (We don't need flags on our uniforms, or brevets or ribbons on our shirts), quite a few came up to me to discuss the Referendum result and all seemed to think it was abject lunacy for Scotland to leave the Union. The local medja here has been full of coverage, in an environment where the Government paternalistically guide the media (ahem). At least now I don't have to explain why a 300 year old marriage has broken down (and also learned that the Scottish and English naval fleets merged in 1607, fancy that!).
