When will indyref2 happen?

This is a point that always needs reaffirmed.  "Ahm nae British ahm Scottish" must be the most cringeworthy phrase in the English language.

Close but no cigar. The correct answer is "I'm proud Scot, but...."

Closely followed but “I’m proud to be British and Scottish”. Usually barked in a stream of spittle by a fat, balding, red-faced, middle-aged joke.

Indeed they can be...but they can't be one without the other, champ.

Excellent so it says  Scottish, British on my passport?

Why?

Because it oftens comes from the failure to realise that Britain and the UK are two different things.  Scotland will be British post-independence, in the same way Norway and Sweden are both independent and are both Scandinavian.

They quite clearly can if the prompt is 'Please state your nationality', chump.

A truly abysmal analogy given that 'Scandinavian' has had literally zero connection with a unitary state or assimilation project in history. Tell you what though, pop over to Dublin or Cork while you're at it and foot-stompingly insist that they're British as well based on your cretinous attachment to geographical terms. I'm sure that'll work out well for you.

It's just shorthand. The box on the forms says 'British' not 'Citizen of the United Kingdom' or whatever. I don't see what's cringeworthy about saying you don't identify with this.

While technically correct it's part of the British Isles much like Ireland or the Isle of Man, it doesn't really do anything but wind folk up by pointing this out in a way that comes across like it's intended to deny their heartfelt identity.

For what it's worth, on both the old EU and now the new UK passport my nationality is stated as British Citizen.

Hopefully in the not too distant future we will see our nationality stated as Scottish Citizen.

Fair point.  On a similar point, I have wondered in the past if some of the 'Scottish not British' types are actually detrimental to the cause in some ways.  One area that Yes doesn't seem to get as much as traction is with the old people, many of whom I'd imagine see their description of Scottish and/or British, see the latter as mutually exclusive with being a citizen of the UK.  Perhaps convincing some that they can be and feel both Scottish and British within an independent Scotland could convince more to be at least be open to switching to Yes.

There will literally be bams screaming at the Passport Office staff when they run out of the old stock and start sending those out.

Also look for outraged Facebook posts about proud Brits getting knocked back at the airport because they scrawled BRITTISH over the 'Scottish' part. Fucking Natzis.

Result by PM as per.

(Except if it means they could f**k a holiday to Benidorm. Or wait in a queue in an airport. Or delay that first shite pint of Carling in a horrible "Rangers" themed bar)

[Sherrif John Bunnell]

You literally get thrown in jail these days just for saying you're British, so of course I am going to make a point of always saying I'm Scottish when asked.

[The_Kincardine]

Lots of Brits above raging about something.  No one knows what.  They just like being angry.

Still, the currency debate has been solved  by our big pals from West Linton:

West Linton is a lovely wee village with a decent golf course.

Good to see there's a strong feeling for self determination and respect for parliamentary democracy there.

Schrodingers currency.

We'd either be forced to use the euro.

Or alternatively, not allowed to use the euro. 

For the record I'd put Glen Michael on the new Scottish euro coins. Scottish legend- born in Devon. Palladin on the 2 euro.

If we are going for obscure Central Belt 70s tv personalities I'd like to see Bryce Curdy given his place.

Maybe on the charger if you need to stash your currency while incarcerated, Papillon style.

If the thought  doesn't make your eyes water, ask an old guy.

That is the biggest load of piss stained w**k I've read. By that logic Ireland is British. It may be geographically part of the British Isles but it's certainly not British.
