It's one of those "your mileage may vary" issues. Soft drinks with aspartame have a negative effect on some people, but not on others. If you want to try soft drinks with aspartame, you can always experiment and see what they do to you.
I, personally, drink more caffeine-free diet Cokes than I want to admit and I don't thnk they interfere with my rate of weight loss, but I also don't think they are very good for me (which is why I am trying to cut them out). The are the one unnatural, unhealthy, fake food left in my diet and they are definitely an addiction.
I don't know if it is available in Scotland, but if it is, Diet Rite Cola is made wth Splenda, not aspartame. Personally, I think it tastes awful, but a lot of peopel on this forum like it. A lot of people (including Dr. Atkins) also think that Splenda is better for you than aspartame.
