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.

Yes to a hoik on heart midlothian

Does anyone say "aicht" for 8?

I actually boak every time I walk past the Heart of Midlothian. I look the other way, but the image in my head of all the greeners on there actually makes me wretch.

Sadly I've lived here long enough to be heartily sick of the trams. I would prefer to move out but he has the Edinburgh thing of not being able to cope with living somewhere else. I don't gob on the Heart although I am still after many years shocked at how many people spit in the streets here. DH claims it is because it is a dusty city - I think it is because people are skanky.

Katie the choice of fish in the chippie is a south of England thing. In Yorkshire it is Haddock or hee haw. Midlands Cod or hee haw.

Scottish

I don't eat fish. Like a sausage supper though.

I like single fish = twa bits

ooa yes, I do have to flob one out. I do aim for a drain (unless I'm near the Royal Mile) cos I am a bit la-de-dah.

single sausage = 2 battered sausages
sausage supper = 2 battered sausages plus chips

a half pizza supper...deep fried pizza should be so wrong, but it's lovely.

Does anyone who isn't an arsehole gob on the Heart of Midlothian? I've never seen anyone do it who wasn't head to toe in leisure wear.

Deep fried pizza,that's your saturated fats fir lifetime

Scottish

Scottish here.

"Deep fried pizza,that's your saturated fats fir lifetime"

I know, I almost feel dirty ordering it, but it tastes great.

Stroll down to Leith and you can see people gob all over the place

I would love a fish supper right now (it's dinner time in the US) but the very best Scottish food is bacon on a morning roll. And tattie scones, of course.

Why would someone think up deep fried pizza? Just so wrong.

Why are youse all spitting on the Heart of Midlothian?

I am Scottish but have only been to Edinburgh a handful of times in my life (all 40years of it). I am closer to Glasgow and went to uni there

I'm very definitely English but I'm not even living in Europe now the closest I've got to Scotland was having a west highland terrier, tbh.

Deep Fried After Eight.

Sumptuous.

Fried after eight mint.christ that's hard core

I would prefer to move out but he has the Edinburgh thing of not being able to cope with living somewhere else

Clearly he is a man of discernment and taste.
