To think Mumsnet is mainly south of the border members?

[frankie80]

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???

oh yes I remember scottishmummy but haven't seen her around for a while, has she left?

I must be looking at the wrong threads then!

re: education - there should be a separate topic or something for the scottish education system

I think she is banned

Me too painted

I'm just going to hide for the entire duration of the GE. And possible disconnect my internet too! I don't think I could take anymore

Sorry if I upset you at any point

South of the border?!?!?!?

I have LOADS of FB friends gained from MN antenatal group who are from Scotland and a fair few from Glasgow.

Now I am 'South of the border' but for me in Yorkshire, have absolutely nobody near me. It seems I ive in an unpopulated part of the country!

I can't remember who was on what side on the referendum threads.

Some folk probably hate me but I can't remember who.

Dundee here, I'm always pleasantly surprised by the number of Scottish posters. Yes there are lots more threads about the English education system, but that's because it seems so much more complicated than here!

Fife here. Work Edinburgh way!

No stats you were definitely the voice of reason throughout. We shared p.ms several times, you were really informative too.

Yes i think SM was banned a few months ago. Either that or she finally did get fed up with wee humphy faces, creepy wee brackets and wordsonascreen.

Behoven

Statistically aww, have some

fanjo you didn't keep a spreadsheet?

just me then

I find the education thread baffling as someone who lives in Scotland. I often think it would be a good idea to have sub-sections, as different parts of the UK differ drastically when it comes to education.

No. So am still feeling benevolent to everyone Except Tories

Isn't the population of Scotland about 10% of that of England? If things are even then about 1 in 11 posters should be in Scotland, it does feel like fewer than that but it is hard to tell.

Morningside calling! I'm pretending the GE isn't happening. Have unfollowed a stack of v political posters on fb, but can't quite bring myself to axe my own family :)

There's no need for education threads in Scotland.

Give them a sandwich. Send them to school. The end.

scottishmummy is banned?! WTF? Probably my favourite poster.

I'm in Moray.

Hah!

I'm not expecting the GE to be quite as...emotional? as the referendum to be fair.

I'm in west lothian btw, I wasn't being vague earlier, just, saying not so near Glasgow and I was rushing out to walk the dog as well.

Love that Morriszapp! The mumsnet attitude to school does seem very different to the attitude where I'm from.

Frankie80, if you just put Dumbarton in the search bar that conference thread should come up.

North Ayrshire here.

awww thanks Behooven

Fingers crossed Tabulahrasa (but not feeling optimistic!)
