Neither shaken nor stirred

We are supposed to be suitably grateful. The greatest living Scotsman, at least in his own estimation, may be coming home. The Scotsman reports:

SIR Sean Connery has said he will return to his native Scotland if it is granted independence.
The high profile supporter of the Scottish National Party (SNP) was born in Edinburgh's Fountainbridge but left Scotland more than half a century ago.
Sir Sean, 76, moved to London in the Fifties, then to Spain in the Seventies. In 1999 he took up residence in the Bahamas, where he still lives, with his second wife, the painter Micheline Roquebrune.
But in an interview with a Sunday newspaper the former James Bond actor said he would "look forward" to coming home to an independent Scotland.

Even if he did deliver the milk to my granny, I rather doubt if cheering crowds will line the Edinburgh streets for the return of the prodigal. In any case, by the time Scotland is independent (even on the fastest of probable timelines), the great man would be well over 80. So the fatted calf is probably pretty safe.
