Next September, I plan to be in Armagh for an astronomy conference- not that I ever need much of an excuse to go to Northern Ireland. Now, these days we are encouraged to go green, and to use the train for short ( i.e. domestic travel) rather than flying.

Answer: They are all members of NATO. The Grumpy SD finds it one of the (many) puzzles associated with those who support Scottish independence that, unlike the small independent European countries they seek...
