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.

Im from the west of Scotland

KatieKaye No I can honestly say the Musselburgh sign doesn't 'upset me'. Amuse me maybe, which obviously didn't come across in my post.

Where I come from if a person claimed honestly the first thing you would think is 'what are they hiding' thus the urge to clutch the handbag

But in all seriousness, I have many friends in Musselburgh, visit Staggs often and genuinely have nothing against the place

I am American but my MN nickname is a Scottish reference.

Do you not normally post the way you talk Mrsjayy?

Well I cant say how for why

Ah - you do know Musselburgh well if you talk about Staggs, rather than the Volunteer Arms! Haven't been there for years but you'll find me outside the Ship for the Fancy Dress Parade and having a light refreshment or two.

North East of Scotland here :)

I love these threads flush oot the Scottish folk

Scottish. How for why - a classic!! Use for the plural of you?

So I'm a Fifer, rellies in Inverurie, Dundee (Tealing), used to live in Lossie/Elgin, lived 4 years in Edinburgh, taught for a year in Uddingston whilst spending every weekend that year in Machrinhanish. I love this country

Just realised that I'm old enough to remember when WhatEveries was Goldbergs ...

I loved what every woman wants

tillie i did not understand most some of the words in your last post

Italy have scored

LOL I am a not trousered but spell checker saved me. Excellent name there too - love Father Ted, even if he isn't Scottish

I am a BIT trousered.....

and now England!

Eh, em a Scot fae Dundee.
Dishes oot the pehs

Drink do you not have a Scottish road atlas?

England has equalised.

England have equalised. I actually hope England do badly but only because England doing well might tip some of the undecided in the referendum over to the yes side.

But that aside I'd rather see England win than Italy.

Good grief I'd forgotten about What Every Woman Wants (not me I'm sure I never set foot in one)
