[edit] Fire service articles
Hello, I welcome your contributions to the various fire service articles a few of which I have started. I'm grateful for any cited input on the legislation in NI and Scotland, but can I respectfully ask that you take care with headings and opening sections of articles which are often the subject of much debate on talk pages. In your change to fire service in the United Kingdom, you changed fire service to fire services, but the article is not just about fire services, it deals with a concept. Please try to bear in mind that a minor change can make a substantial difference to the way an article reads. Regards. Escaper2007 11:55, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- This is the legislation that applies to FRS in Scotland: [1] not the FSA 1947. Escaper2007

- The sections of the FSA 1947 which concern pensions are still in force in Scotland. The effect of the repeals in FRSA 2004 was in Scotland limited by s.63 of that Act and unlike in England did not repeal the whole Act.
- I've added the entire act as a footnote, it took a bit of finding and when I did, I discovered that it never did apply to NI, so I've now re-written and re worked some of your edits. Escaper2007 14:22, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Devolution
Many thanks for this edit!
I am often amazed by how facile and vague Wikipedia articles can be regarding the division of powers in the UK. The fact that health, transport, culture, sport, law and order (Scot only), rural issues, education, planning etc, etc, etc are devolved is often unclear, or even not mentioned at all.
And many people seem to be under the misapprehension that seperate administration in NI, Scot and Wales is some kind of new invention. As you are obviously aware from your edit, it long predates '97. Keep clarifying! --Mais oui! 18:59, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Noticed you added a comment about James Stuart of Lynchork. My wife is one of his descendants and I wondered if you have anymore information on him than that you have put on wikipedia. Fitaloon 12:30, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
