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 piles of us OP as evidenced by the uproar on Vienna's recent thread when he said kilts looked ridiculous.

I'm still licking my wounds from the Indyref threads

There was a thread in AIBU to think most mnetters are scottish bout a year back. A fair few were indeed Scottish.

As you might expect. Smile

I'm originally from Glasgow but live in East Dunbartonshire now.

Christinayangstwistedsister · 24/03/2015 21:32

I'm surprised there is anyone still talking...how many were banned?

Jackieharris · 24/03/2015 21:33

Weegiemum and prettybird are Glaswegian. Expatinscotland is west coast I think.

Look on the education esp Gaelic school threads for some others.

But I agree that I also find mn very 'English' eg saying 'UK education' when they mean English etc.

SantanaLopez · 24/03/2015 21:33

No bannings AFAIK! A few nutters and flouncers, mind you.

Christinayangstwistedsister · 24/03/2015 21:35

Aye, can imagine
