Doncaster 'is part of Scotland' after 900-year-old administrative error comes to light

Born in Doncaster, live in Edinburgh, Scottish, English and Irish grandparents and a Welsh name. I don't know my arse from my elbow.

900 year admin error,not too bad compared to current civil servants standards.

I love this little dig at the English government:-
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."
A great bit of political mischief there. Good on him!

Doncaster the warmest place in Scotland

How bizarre! I might have a case against Tesco who refused to accept a Scottish £20 note in one of their Doncaster stores from me, saying it's not legal tender. Now they're proven to be in Scotland, they must have acted illegally. I must sue them for millions!!!!

So we don't have to pay prescription charges then.

So how long before Argentina claims it?

Does this mean that the people in S. yorks get a vote in the forthcoming Scottish referendum on independance???

does that mean they can have free perscriptions and free University education like the scots.

as a scot myself,i think its an absolute disgrace,that the english government does NOT allow free prescriptions,free tuition fees,and free care for the elderly,it's supposed to be a CIVILISED country isn't it? c'mon people of england,DEMAND your government gives you those rights!!!, its no use going along with the negative thinkers who say"take those rights away from scotland,wales,ireland" they are just trying to welch out of paying you what you deserve!!! the people of england should have those same rights,and dont let the greedy ba**ards in the government say different, they CAN afford it easily.

When Rangers close down we can replace them with Doncaster Rovers.

I think it's only fair Doncaster must have a referndum and decide once and for all. But i think it's brilliant a Scottish town in the middle (well near enough) of England. FREEDOM for Doncaster

does that mean that all legal documents and court cases stating that things happened in doncastor are viod as it happened under (scotish) law?

I think this piece of news could be pretty amazing for Doncaster, it could be a real selling point should it re-brand itself as the only Scottish town in England. The free prescriptions, tuition fees etc. would also be a fantastic boost for a currently struggling town.
I think that right now, the people of Doncaster probably have a whole heap more in common with the Scots. than with the South of England (particularly in that there London)...and yes, I live in Doncaster!
No doubt the current Govt. will write it off though, as they do when they come across something that doesn't suit them......

YAY!!! I was born in Doncaster but have lived in Glasgow for the last 14 years. NOW, when (some) people call me an 'English #$%$, I can laugh (as I usually do) but take great pleasure in pointing out their mistake, lol!! So this will now mean that IF Scotland becomes independant, I should have dual nationality :o)

so does this mean we will be evan more skint when scotland will want 900 years of tax back

As the Mayor says, they'll be very lucky it they are. They actually value social care over the border.

Welcome friends, enjuy free prescriptions, dental check ups eye tests and no cost for higher education. Sending you irn bru to celebrate. Ok is tongue in cheek

I had the good fortune to bump into a party from Doncaster during a trip to York.Excellent people.

Well my grandparents are Welsh, my parents are English and now I live in a Scottish town, brilliant! All I need now is some Irish relatives and I'm done lol.
