>>we are almost bound to be better off in some things and worse off in others.
I agree. However, I think we're going to see several examples of the Laws of Unintended Consequences.
And I think the gradual reduction of road transport/freight through English sea ports is going to be one. I suspect that the finest day for our "professional drivers" has passed. No doubt the demise will be slow, but I do think it has started. Never was a death so thoroughly earned.
Also, if I was Scotland, I wouldn't worry about Independence. I think I'd focus on becoming the most attractive import/export gateway. And they have the means to do it, AND the opportunity.
