So yes, globalization happened. Not sure why that would lead you to want to dismantle the UK, though.

Have to say that since the Scottish public indicated their democratic choice in the referendum I am getting a bit sick of the continued incessant whining from certain Scottish politicians.

It ain't over until the fat lady sings. I await with interest May 2015 and the General Election .

But wasn't that mostly the over 55 age group, who really should have stayed home, and allowed the younger people to win?

No, there was only one age group that voted Yes; the rest (including the youngest age group) voted No.
