To think Mumsnet is mainly south of the border members?

I've been on Mumsnet for about 8 years and I've seen so few posters who say they are Scottish, and none whatsoever in my area (just outside Glasgow).

I've been on the local group (which is dead). It would be great to meet someone near me as I'm bloody lonely. I tried the meet a mum on the other mums website, that's dead too.

You'd think there were no mums in the west coast of Scotland or maybe they are all part of some super amazing website / group that I've yet to hear of!

Scottish mummies, where are you???

There are lots and lots of Scottish mnetters, watch this thread grow.

HirplesWithHaggis · 24/03/2015 20:41

You must have missed all the indyref threads, loads of Scots on them! Grin

HoppityVoosh · 24/03/2015 20:41

There's loads! I seen someone say once it seems like everyone is either from London or Scotland on here. But I think that's because people point out they're from Scotland when it's relevant because laws etc are different.

TheMoa · 24/03/2015 20:41

Gosh, I think there are loads of Scottish posters.

The numbar of times I get half way through a thread and the OP announces, ' oh sorry, none of that is relevant, I'm in Scotland' is amazing Grin.

Unless it's specifically mentioned though, there isn't any way of knowing where people are, that's part of the appeal.

tabulahrasa · 24/03/2015 20:41

I'm over on the east side...but I think there's quite a few scottish posters.

FlankShaftMcWap · 24/03/2015 20:41

Not Scottish but I have lived here for years. North East Scotland Smile

Christinayangstwistedsister · 24/03/2015 20:41

Shenanagins · 24/03/2015 20:41

Plenty around as demonstrated on the Indy threads last summer.

Population of Scotland = 5 million and something.

Population of England & Wales = nearly 60 million.

frankie80 · 24/03/2015 20:43

I did see some indyref threads, but a lot of the posts were from those south of the border (or edinburgh/east coast).

I think my main issue really is that I'm near Glasgow, I never see any posters from Glasgow area around here and I'd just love to meet up with someone for a cuppa, dog walk or cinema (don't drink lol!)

frankie80 · 24/03/2015 20:46

Mumsnet should create a topic just for Scotland! Then we'd all know where to find each other :D

I'm originally from just outside Glasgow but live near Edinburgh now. I think there are quite a lot of us Scots.

CrystalCove · 24/03/2015 20:49

Frankie whereabouts just outside Glasgow are you? I'm in North Ayrshire.

ThankFuckSpringIsHere · 24/03/2015 20:50

I'm in the middle of Glasgow and Edinburgh.
