Scotland - another reason not to go back
God, it's all very depressing today.
A recent report shows that the Scottish economy is propped up public spending. After the jump a tale of economic woe:
"In Argyll and Clyde, 76% of the economy is generated from the state, in the form of spending by councils, health boards and through other forms of government activity. In Ayrshire and Arran, the figure is 74%. In Lanarkshire, it is 72%."
I've often joked about how every second ad on Scottish TV seems to from the Government - looks like I was more right than I thought.

Your finger is uncannily on the pulse - yesterday's Evening Standard ran a piece about Bowling which they claim epitomises the urban Zeitgeist.
The NE has indeed done well to convert drilling oil out of the North Sea into a global service industry. What frustrates me is that I canny think of one internet related innovation to come out of Scotland - anyone?
