Scotland the crap

[angusglover]

Then they discover alcohol, crack cocaine and glue, and it's all downhill from there.

Because obviously you don't get that in posh England...what is is, terrorism, rape, murder and sex with boys???

[angusglover]

Isn't "good with colours" a euphamism for something?

yeah, it means you can spell you f*ckwit...

Scotland hs some of the most beautiful scenery you'll ever experience. I love the place and the vast majority of Scots don't get all prickly-ar$ed when they realise I'm English (unlike the North Welsh).

I can also be a very sparse place to live. I have a friend who lives in Dallmally and he drives an hour to Glasgow to take the kids swimming - it's the nearest public baths.

I wouldn't mind retiring to somehwere like Oban.

Yeah but then a grey wet mist comes down in October and doesn't lift until March...

I used to work in Scotland on a weekly basis. I don't mind the place but they certainly are the unhealthiest people I have worked with...

The best thing about Scotland is that there seems to be so many people who say that the place is so wonderful, but choose not to live there. If everybody who loved Scotland so much went back, the place would sink.

I've lived and worked there and to be honest I didn't mind the place. There are some really nice bits, but then the weather tends to spoil that.

Scotland is the only place where I have seen people eat deep fried pizza and pies and then wonder about the high levels of heart disease.

If more people lived there, it would spoil it. Part of the beauty is the wide open spaces that you can walk along for days without seeing anyone.

glasgows really changing

incredible difference over just a few years in the mix of people, "visitors" are being shipped in by the busload(seen them with my own eyes)from london i believe. i heard that labour down south were paying labour up north to take lots of "visitors"

You won't believe me, but the spelling was deliberate.

Onwards and upwards.

So is being "good with colours" the reason you Scots chaps like wearing skirts?
You know it's a skirt.

Ever thought that part of the reason they don't is opportunity ;-) Plenty of people claim to loathe London but still live and work here.

I agree on the weather, it's probably the main reason I don't live there - it just get's me down. Scotland's diet is sh!t, combined with the heavy drinking culture and number of smokers it doesn't make for good reading - though I suspect the figures get slightly warped by the number of the better educated/off who move south - but that's just an opinion.

On the other hand, I don't reckong large chunks of england are any better and in the big scheme of things Britain in general has massive health related problems - scotland just has the worst of the lot.

Yeah a skirt you gave us... or had you forgotten?

An opinion with foundation, I've not worked in Scotland for 3 years now... Still have my home there in Auld reekie fly in once a month just to spend a week there and catch up on the banter. I've probably put on a few pounds by the end of the week.
