Me too (as well as living here, heh), but it mentions all of what I said pretty much.

I wonder if that driving age has changed in Scotland too, google isn't being co operative on finding that change of law. Mind you it's been a while since I passed that age and I still haven't applied for my license, heh =)

Hey cool! In England it's

16 - have sex, buy liqours and gamble.
17 - drive
18- drink, vote, get into clubs

Its great because you have about 9 months on average from when you pass your driving test to become a competant enough driver and a morally responsible enough to be able to not drink and drive. So its like "WOW I CAN DRINK + WOW I CAN DRIVE = LETS GO"

You can get married at 16 without consent in Gretna Green (South of Scotland as it says).

You can get married at 16 without consent in all of Scotland, it's only in England & Wales that you need consent until you are 18. Gretna Green is famous for marrying many elopers as it's so near the border with England.

For quite a few things in Scotland you are considered a legal adult and no longer a minor at 16, living alone, various laws and so on

Wiki had an article on Gretna specifically, so that's what I used.

*Ahem* *points to the word England in the post* Did I say in the UK? No. I said in England! Isn't it great to be right?
