Jeremy Clarkson may have to don a kilt on Top Gear from now on after it was revealed the Yorkshire town of Doncaster historically belongs to Scotland.

Doncaster may have to turn to tartanAncient documents have revealed the birthplace of Clarkson was signed over to Scotland in a treaty 900 years ago as part of the Treaty of Durham after King David successfully stormed large areas of northern England.

It remained in Scottish hands for 21 years until Henry II appeared to reclaim the town under English rule in 1157.

 

But experts have now found an official pact wasn't ever signed - meaning strictly speaking the South Yorkshire town still belongs to the Scots.

Mayor of Doncaster Peter Davies said: "It's clearly in the interests of Doncaster to be in Scotland: we'll get free prescriptions, free tuition for students and free care for the elderly.
"The town has a lot to offer Scotland and I'd like to invite its First Minister Alex Salmond here - maybe we could form an unholy alliance!"

Charles Kelham, who discovered the oversight, said: "King David coins dating from that time have been found in Doncaster, so the links are there."

Ta! It may be temporary. The other stuff referred to the urban myth of Berwick being at war with The Fatherland, when if course it is actually still at war with Russia. As Mrs Jer always says, "if you have to explain, it isn't funny!" so I won't do the material about that sombre, boring, nationalistic Alex salmond one being a doppelgÃĪnger for my hometown Italian ice-cream magnate. You had to be there.

we could always buy doncaster back, or sell it to the germans.

 

 

 

The national debt, if Mr.Salmond was allowed, by our London rulers, to decide, would be divided fairly, along with the wealth. Scotland would be in credit. 

 

Our greedy overlords will keep fighting against our freedom but one day ..it will come. My Mum,who fought most of her life for it with Winnie Ewing et al, never saw it. I hope I live to see that day. I`ll be dancing in the streets.

I despair every time the smug git opens his snobby nosed gob  Mary Portas is supposed to be going to help our town (it's rather funny, if you knew the name of the town where I live), I never though it could get any worse since the Thatcher years.... again I was wrong

 I`ve been searching for it Dame, but no joy so far. Do you know who did it? 

 

I`m off for a wee nap now. I`ll be back later. Hope you find it.

It must have been an awful sight. To witness in the dusky light. Beautiful railway town by the silvery Don. Alas! I am very sorry to report on. That South Yorkshire town was taken away. Within this year on the last sabbath day. They took the mines and two places of football. Somewhere to the west of Dingwall. And the demon of the air said "look mon" I'll blow down the girder bridge of Don. Milliband will rule us none. Instead some son of the clan Cameron. With apologies to Scotland's great rhymer.

Don't you think it's about time all these old laws were looked at and reformed or scrapped? I do---- We are in a modern society now and some of these old laws can be taken as proof in court-- ie shooting a Welsh person with a crossbow- or something to that effect. Clean up the old laws before something gets to the EU courts of Justice and comes out in favor of the plaintiff.
