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 absolutely need to get a bottle of that 1901 Irn Bru to put in with my daughter's Christmas gifts. She can open it in her own house ].

Dd just brought a bottle in apparently it has been flying out the shop. I shall report backif she ever opens it !

Devil

Probably not, but we certainly like to point it out when possible 😆 e.g. in the summer when other people are roasting away down South and we're getting excited about 17c

Yeah but you get 2 hours extra shopping on a Sunday...

and we're getting excited about 17c

Taps aff weather

Wasn’t anyone else born in Ninewells?

@TooExtraImmatureCheddar I gave birth at Ninewells once. Does that make you feel more included?

I was born at Maryfield. Old but classic.

I was @TooExtraImmatureCheddar and so were my kids.

DRI for me !

Well that's me sorted, wrapped and bagged the Christmas loot for the rellies. Bit feart I'm so organised .

I was born in Ninewells! don't remember much about it tbh.

I think up until very recently at least Scotland was the only place where Coca Cola had a factory, but wasn't the most popular fizzy drink.

wahey!

My son was born there. I was there for the big event lol

So which schools did we go to?

I went to Bearsden Primary and Bearsden Academy.

Ds went to Glendale Primary and then Shawlands Academy. Dh was St Monica's Primary followed by St Mungo's Academy (when it was still selective).

I would say pretty but it would be very 'outing'

Oops just spotted all the questions about the Scottish smiley Glad someone answered and explained it's tb tartanbunnet

I went to the school that GCC has just decided to let boys into

What does the tcr stand for in the ?

God the school i went to was a hole It isn't so much as "outing" but pitiful 😁

I don't like Irn Bru either.

I went to the school that GCC has just decided to let boys into One of my univ friends went there. She was Scottish Italian. Until I went to University I had scarcely met anyone who was Catholic.

@TooExtraImmatureCheddar I was ninewells 1975 and DS 2004

I woke up two days ago with razor blades in my throat and this morning it's a full cold! Bugger! I've avoided the cold all year!!
Well I'm off today (as working sat) so leaving dundee at ten to go Christmas shopping in Glasgow with my dad and 15 year old son...... wish me luck!

Good luck Bluebells

I've been coughing my guts up since the weekend. Been on the night nurse to try to stop coughing during the night.

My poor Dad has had it for a fortnight he is in bed which isn't like him.
