The Republic of Kelso High

So I was wondering what to write about tonight and my wife Julie had a look about the internet to see if I could draw inspiration from the news stories today. Then she discovered a wee article on the BBC website that I just had to draw attention to.

The kids at her old school, Kelso High, have voted overwhelmingly for independence from the UK. In a referendum the pupils at the school voted by 437 to 113 to establish the Republic of Kelso High (and established the Bawbee as their own currency).

Surely this is a sign, and the people of Scotland as a whole will follow their fine example of opting for independence soon enough.
