Are there a disproportionate amount of Scots on MN?

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?

Tartan bampot?

Butchyrestingface · 02/12/2019 13:11

Can someone purlease tell me how to get the tartan emojis?

I won’t sleep until I have them. Sad

dementedpixie · 02/12/2019 13:13

Its was explained earlier. You need [ ] brackets and enclosed within them tb plus whichever emoji e.g. tbgrin Grin

dementedpixie · 02/12/2019 13:14

So [ tbsmile ] with no spaces between brackets and the word Smile

I'm not Scottish but I can do a mean Scottish accent (which would probably get me locked up in Scotland for my own security if I tried that).

Thank you! Grin
