To believe that a very high % of mumsnetters are Scottish

[greedygal]

I get this impression and have no idea why - is this my imagination or is this the case?

Where are you originally from?

I am thoroughly English.

Scottish here too.

Dont know if i am a proper scot though coz i rarely drink. But i do swear a fucking lot

33 Things That Could Only Happen in Glasgow

Hilarious article.

NI originally, but Scottish for the past 20 years, have acquired a love of fritters, Irn Bru and tablet

Oddly my precious little dear thinks it's hilarious to call me "Maw" I thought it was Dundonian, not Glaswegian.

There is only one private school where i live & thats a boarding school where a certain royal went.

Scottish. From a part of Scotland where folk still call their mother their mammy and children are weans.

Scottish living in England, we're the only bit of the family that 'emigrated'.

English - albeit Northumbrian - and the product of Scots boarding school!

Don't say maw here, fife def has it's own weird pronunciations & words.

Sometimes say " how's your brer?" for brother. No idea how to spell it and "How's your mer" for mum.

Eddie private school in glasgow is v uncommon
Not so in edinburgh

Ma/mammy/maw yes
Weans yes

Agree with weather all and Pumpkin,

I do get annoyed when everything is referred to as "In England"

Makes me want to scream "We're not all English!"

Well there's that joke isn't there, in Glasgow they ask what school you went to to work out if you're Protestant or Catholic and in Edinburgh it's to see what class you are.

So if I base all my logic on jokes, there must be more private schools in Embra...that'll make mushrooms happy and scones fast as well, so I think it's a sound way of determining facts?

i think frankie boyle is fuckin funny.. is that scottishist?

Has anyone done the "How Weegie are You?" Test?

I am Alex Ferguson. I inspire fear in everyone whenever I open my mouth. Even it it's just to pay a compliment.

Sounds good.

Am Scottish from Edinburgh

Working class family scholarship to private school so dunno what class I am.

Not so many going to private school in Edinburgh these days as there used to be.

Scottish

Love the Teuchters nap Santana!

I'm from the Sheep Shagging area

I used to think Frankie Boyle was funny, but he crossed the line spectacularly and now I think he's a wee shite.

Im half scottish and English brought up in Edinburgh and still live here more or less.usually type in english though.
I hardly hear folk say ma or maw but my dp does and when my bairn copies I go a bit twitchy.

I dont get the whole scots hate the english or vice versa.i dont believe its true.
Healty competitiveness/rivalry maybe..

As you can tell im not pished..yet.

I love that the girl in the 24 hour Greggs photo is barefoot and in a tiny wee dress, despite the puddles!

So greedygal did you light the touch paper and retire or are you coming back?

Scottish too. Live on Engerlund though
