Where am i going to live?

So,should Scotland go for independence (and I'm beginning to think they might), what are the rest of us going to be called? Currently the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Great Britain refers to the island which is made up of England, Scotland, and Wales. United Kingdom refers to the unification of the kingdoms of England (which included Wales) and Scotland. The only bit of the current name which would make any sense would be Northern Ireland. What should a new country consisting of England, Wales, and Northern Ireland be called? No politicising please, just a bit of fun.

Might have to move to scotland, the scottish government looks less likely to be full of clowns.

It's not the oil that will make an independent Scotland rich, it will be the lowest pension bill in the universe.

They're slightly ahead of Luton in that respect.

And... if Scotland won't be part of it again. How would the UK flag look like? Would you just remove that blue/white background? :)
Sorry didn't see this till now posted below.

If the prophet of doom merchants have their way, the Scots might just end up building the luxury car division of Trabant, known as DK.

The flag should have the Welsh dragon on it, that'd be (a) cool and (b) overdue.

That's a funny flag "Sorry, this page cannot be found.":confused: The link works now.

I can fill out the form to be a playboy centerfold. That doesn't mean they'll have me.

I qualify as I have been married to Hungarian for over five years and have made it my home; even though we work here. I have to have an interview with the Consul at the Embassy; a nice chap who Mrs Wife knows. The only iffy bit is that I am supposed to have adequate language skills; we can work around that.

I'm looking forward to getting another passport. :-) BTW: don't think there is any need to change the flag. How many people would be able to tell you why the flag looks like it does except for nerds (that would be us) and vexillologists?
