I liked the one on Five live , Some whinging Scot ( yes I know that
describes them all) was on bleating about how the common view of Scotsmen
being violent, ignorant, fouthmouthed , drunken wasters was not fair nor
balanced. He went on ( like Pfeffers) I went to school, then university, got
a masters degree........... Then before he could go on the original caller
cut in to say "" Yes and he has never done a days work since"" :o) Never
mind The Yanks have Hillbillies, The Europeans have Gypos and we have the
Scots

This is all really childish banter. The Scots invented most of the things
you take for granted, whether they had gone to America or New Zealand.
Look up Scottish inventions and see for yourself.
It's also the only place on earth that doesn't need to glamorise itself to
get visitors wanting to go there.

Alcoholism, Childhood obesity, Unemployability, a version of English no one
can understand, the road south, the Olympic sports of pulling down telephone
poles tand throwing them away, The art of urinating in phone boxes, The most
famous book in Scotish history " 500 ways to borrow money" Oh and the
Pneumatic tyre because they were to damn lazy to repair the roads the
English laid for them :o)
