    If you remove votes for over 65s Scotland voted yes so we are only one generation away from Independence

    Sorry Enger-land but your wee union is on its last legs

    No need to apologize. I can't wait for you to get independence.

    You sure about that?

    Scotland votes breakdown by age
    16 and 17-year-olds voting 71% yes.
    18-24-year-olds voted 52 to 48 against independence.
    25-34-year-olds voted for Independence.
    65s+ voted 73% to 27% to stay in the Union.

    Sorry contrarian but even in Enger-land we have access to the world wide web.

    One week on and the only people who care are the independence extremists. And we know what we think of extremists :D

    Yougov stated that the only age group that voted yes was the 26-39 year olds all the other categories that they polled had a majority of no. The over 65s helped to make the difference as big as it was but they didn't cause the yes campaign to fail.

    When I originally read the thread title I was kind of worried it'd be "One week on and..." they're already holding another poll. And another and another until they get the correct result.

    How am I taking it personally? :o There's lots of expats in Amsterdam - what's wrong with that?

    Nothing at all. But last time I looked, Scotland wasn't "shackled" to Amsterdam.

    Sorry contrarian but even in Enger-land we have access to the world wide web.

    Yet you don't seem to know how to interpret the data on the world wide web.

    Haha, what does the OP expect in 7 days?!

    The Scots should accept that they are a small part of the UK, are not a special case and that now the referendum is over and done with, it is business as usual. I'm sure the government will get around to addressing Scottish matters reasonably in due course, but it isn't a top priority, nor should it be.

    * Tries to find sensible response in Google to query 'what happened in last Thursday's referendum' *
    * Eventually settles for pictures of girl not quite in kilt *

    How else should I interpret it? Only 35-44 year olds voted for independence as a bloc. Everyone else voted No.

    Unless you have an alternative interpretation?

    My fault. I posted bollocks stats and Lord AShcroft's vote agrees with you.

    The over 55s narrowly voted no though so you may have longer than a generation to wait to be rid of us and our inferior statistical analysis skills.

    I missed the announcement on the UK Govt. abandoning the promise of extra powers for the Scottish Govt. When did this happen?
    I also missed the discovery of 120 years of oil since last weekend.
    I also missed the announcement to privatise the NHS.
    I also missed the announcement of the plan to scrap the Barnett Formula.

    In fact, I can't find any of these pronouncements. Did they actually happen?
    They were all pronounced in cloud cuckoo land, where some of the Yes voters live.
    11 most of this is bullshit

    No, it's all true

    I don't know about anybody else, but I for one are completely swayed by the irrefutable evidence you have provided to back up your claims.
