**bonus stars for Hang shuff for somehow getting in a mention for Mrs Thatcher here. Did she hate Scotland? How would you know -her party were/are firmly committed to the union; it's even in the name. Trade unions? Ok nothing to do with the thread but I'll bite, and I write as a fully paid up trade union member. Would you really prefer to live in a country where the likes of Scargill or Gormley could turn your electricity off at will?
