Are there a disproportionate amount of Scots on MN?

[charliesp]

AIBU in thinking there is a disproportionately large amount of Scots on MN? Before I continue, there is absolutely nothing 'wrong' with this, just an observation.

I very often see on the "what are you doing today" threads posted on a Sunday that they are going to the supermarket at 9am... where England and Wales don't have extended Sunday trading hours. Or lots of "I'll be voting SNP at the general election".

Anyone else noticed this? I wonder what the percentage of active users are English, Welsh, Irish, Scottish, and others?

I recently found out how to do it

My Wee Jeemy Dodger!

Maybe we should use the Scottish emojis on every thread so posters know we're Scottish and stop themselves from asking why we're on holiday/going to the supermarket at odd hours, etc

I can remember how to do (by adding an f in front of the smile between the [ ] ) - but I've forgotten how to do the Scottish one.

Ooh love the Wee Jimmy emojis

I hope none of you in the central belt are affected by the gas supply problem www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-50613678

How do you do the Scottish emojis? I'd forgotten all about them!

Xmas is coming, it's official... Ken Bruce is playing "Santa's a Scotsman"
🤣

Anyone born in Raigmore (Inverness)? I was a midwife there.

Now living in the middle o' nowhere, Argyll (and Bute).

But no' actually on Bute.

I started a thread recently about emojis and someone used it .

What you do is [ followed by tbgrin , then ] . That should give you the grinning Wee Jeemy. If you do tb followed by the other words you get the other things

There is a tardis , angry bird , a pub sign from the Archers...

Ooh , the Sooth Road @IfWishesWereFishes...that's a lang ane.

yaaasss

@ScarJo should that no be Parkheid 🤣

@TheMustressMhor I'm in A&B too, not Bute either but very near it 😀

We're a nation that can laugh at itself. Loved that video upthread.
"We'll set aboot ye"

Part Scottish, living in Scotland. Yes, the alcohol stuff is a pain, we pay more here, alcohol is excluded from any offers, coupons etc - eg Sainsburys, Lidl etc give vouchers but it always says 'EXCLUDES ALCOHOL IN SCOTLAND'. We usually buy booze on a trip across the border to England, but if Scotland gained independence we'd be smugglers!

We'll set aboot ye

Aye, ever grateful John Smeaton decided to have a fly fag on that shocking day back in 2007!

. Ooooh ta prettybird

'Twas AnneKipanki who told us how to do it - I'd forgotten

Although heaven knows what the tb stands for I can understand the [f ] in for "festive" but "tb"?

Tb=tartan bunnet?

the brave ?

@catzrulz

DH and I had to take our car all the way to Bute for its service.

In total we took four ferries and drove ninety three miles.

I had several ice creams at Zavaroni's though so it was worth it

Tb=tartan bunnet?

😂🤣

@nononever , I feel a song coming on ...

I like "The Brave"
