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?

Irn Bru marinates you from the inside oot.

AnniePankettonne · 03/12/2019 11:02

Christmas name change btw.

AnniePankettonne · 03/12/2019 11:26

That was a joke about the marinade lemonade.

However , years ago there was a Welsh girl who turned orange after drinking too much of a well known orange juice .

Late to the party here but am I the first Balfour Hospital (Kirkwall) baby on the thread?

Can however confirm that Irn Bru is unshiftable from carpet by any means and I'm going to have to either buy Irn Bru coloured carpets next time round, or give up Irn Bru. It's a dilemma...

I'm half-Scottish and I hate Irn Bru. It's my English genes.

I'm in Wales and Tesco opens at 8am on a Sunday

Mrsjayy · 03/12/2019 13:45

Poor Wales sadly I think it is seen as an extention of England which is a shame.
