    Scottish food exports pass £1bn mark

    Who said deep fried mars bars would never catch on?

    Meanwhile in England:

    That's been going on for years and there are signs all over cornwall warning you about Seagulls.

    My daughter's earliest memory is off a sea gull stealing "the loveliest, most tasty cheese sandwich in the world" from her hands aged 3.
    merely at clientco for the entertainment

      It's a well known fact this, that Seagulls originated in Merseyside before populating the rest of the coastal areas hence the problem with stealing chips. You don't get the same problems with Puffins or Penguins which have never been seen in Merseyside.

        "Anne MacColl, chief executive of Scottish Development International (SDI), the government's trade promotion agency that extracted the HMRC figures"

        She is probably on a shed load to compile these figures which undoubtedly got produced by some DB grunt and a few SQL queries which then gets presented as interesting news on the BBC.

          The 'fresh salmon' exports I suspect are actually farmed salmon and inferior to real fresh salmon.
          Me, me, me...

            And neither are a patch on the salmon you can now catch just outside Tokyo.

              Time to go it alone then, good luck.
              Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                I am moving to England if this madness ever gets put through (which I doubt it ever will).

                Scotland is more economically viable than anything North of Swindon and West of Reading but give these socialist nutters a few years and we will be back to crop rotation.

                  Sod off, we're full.

                    I've watched a large seagull snatch an entire ice cream cone from a young lady last year.
                    She had a sense of humour and laughed it off, but probably hoped the gull had severe brain freeze.
