Other than that Scotland is a braw place tae stai,,,,,,Welcome whin ye dae

i find that hard to believe!

I would look at attendance figures at games......and when was the last time someone north of Perth played in the national Team ?

Milk and sugar are the only thing that make it bearable!

Quite a few mix it with Irn Bru (or buy it ready mixed). Salt on the porridge.

A few more things:

Most Scots don't wear a kilt everyday (if ever).

"Fish and Chips" is known as a "Fish Supper" no matter what time of the day you eat it.

In the west it is salt and vinegar (as it shouldbe!) while in the east it is that disgusting sauce!

Lots of Scots don't actually know the words to the second verse of "Flower of Scotland".

William Wallace did not paint his face blue to look like mel Gibson.

I lived in the east of Scotland and we use salt and vinegar.

Many Scots don't know the second verse of their national anthem word-for-word. Present company included.

Many Scots don't like posh Scottish accents

The Lion Rampant is a great flag and a cracking tattoo.

Most Scots don't like getting called Jock ( unless their name is...Jock )

Don't bother asking a Scot "What's worn under the kilt?"
They will only answer (I won't bother trying to do the accent)
"Nothing, it's all in perfect working order"

Ah, an enclave of civilisation! I was in a chippy with an Edinburgh girl on the south side of Glasgow once. She asked for 'salt'n'sauce'. The silence was deafening...

Ach, they aren't the real east of Scotland though. They are, well, from Edinburgh ;)

Sorry, I'd forgotten that. Something else for incomers to remember.

Edinburgh... If you want a sauna then avoid places advertising themselves as saunas (unless you want some extras).

Oh, does Edinburgh still have one of the highest HIV rates in Europe?

Wow, that's still the case? I looked at the 'Sexy Sauna' case about a decade ago.

Hopelessly Infantile Violence? ;) ;)

I assume it is (could be wrong). It was a way of keeping the girls off the street, I beleive. Law turned a blind eye.

About 15 years ago I'd just been to Finland, where saunas are a normal part of everyday life. It was a hot summer in Edinburgh and I was doing a few puppetshows at the Ed Festival. I was sticky and sweaty and thought, "I could murder a sauna" (strange thing to think, I know). Well, I'd seen a few signs so I thought I'd check 'em out later. Meantime I went to see a play about prostitution in Edinburgh... where I found out about the saunas (honest, guv!).

A lucky event.

Yeah, the HIV thing was a few years ago when the police decided they could combat drug addiction if they limited the availability of needles... which led to a lot of shared needles and one of (if not THE) highest HIV rates in western europe.

Maybe Niddrie bumps up that statistic :(
