    It says most Scots are firmly opposed, which is news to me. Most of the polls I've seen have a slight majority of Scots in favour.

    What time are kids going to school in Scotland for it still to be dark?

      In winter it can easily be dark beyond 8am in many parts of Scotland.

    You should have called this "Scot the Difference". Or not. I mean, whatever man, it's your blog.
