Careful. ;D
You could argue that they have been given to much money. Scotland has less than 10% of the population, but has been given more than 10% of the money.

You mean if AGB hadn't used underhand methods to "steal" the patent from Antonio Meucci... ;)
Take cover everyone! ;D :running:
Griff obviously didn't know who invented the tyres for his car.
Imagine him driving to work with wooden wheels.
I've seen it, Lona, it's not a pretty sight. ;D
Not sure what tyres has got to do with a telephone?!? I guess it's easier to switch subjects ;)

;D ;D ;D

Just remember Griff, It took a Scottish King to unite Britain. I wish he hadn't bothered now. :evil:

It took more than two. ;D
oh yeah because half the cabinet was Scottish too.
It only took one Scottish MP to instigate the hacking scandal
So back to my post, why should Scotland get a bigger percentage than say Wales or N Ireland?
