There are 5million Scots, including everyone, babies and gibbering idiots. Check my maths, someone, I am no good at big numbers. 200 billion= 200,000,000,000. Cancel out the millions, we have 5 into 200,000 = 40,000 a head, or say, 80,000 per household.
It seems a good idea, and I know from experience that the water around Orkney is as fierce as you will find -- in the Pentland Firth,say. Whether the Orcadians enjoy being bullied around by Scots, and having their resources filched is another matter. Are there many Scots with this sort of cash tucked up their sporran? Does Salmond perhaps remember the last great escapade of the Scots, a bit of light colonialism in Panama, or somewhere-- which led to bankruptcy, and the Act of Union?
