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?

Seldhelpneeded I am just 15 minutes over the back road from you 😁

@Skippii Looks like this will be appreciated here

😂😂

Sorry but Bearsden which is in East Dunbartonshire does not count as Glasgow.

Can't believe how many Irvine Central babies are on this thread! It isn't exactly a metropolis.

Invernesian here, born in Raigmore.

Ah stay in the Kingdom now and have learned to swear a lot more. But it's braw here. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 My bairns are Fifers I guess!

I've never voted SNP but need to consider it this time, due to the demographics in my constituency. 🙈

@Likethebattle I’m super close too! Small world.

Hiya pals, another mawsnetter here from just outside Glasgow.

Born in Rottenrow, brought up in Dundee and lived in Aberdeen for five years! My east coast pals say I speak weegie and my west coast pals say I speak eastcoast/teuchter ! Married to a Fifer, .Ken to Kennoway , I Dairsie I do!

Known to frequent Morrisons on a Sunday morning before 930am an aw!

Not just 9am opening. 24 hour opening means that bar Christmas/new year. 2am on a Sunday if I fancy I can do my weekly shop and have done.

@Squeakymumtime and @Sotiredsomuch small world. I noticed a lot of changes last time I was there.

From Dumfries originally but lived in Perthshire and Aberdeenshire and now in South Ayrshire!

Turned into an awfy friendly thread this 😊

It's not in Glasgow city area but it's a suburb of Glasgow.

Hehe this is fun to read. Few north Lanarkshironians (?)

I’m from Bearsden, living now in ‘what’s it called?’

Glasgow here!

Best city in the world

Surely everyone within a 50 mile radius of Glasgow knows Bearsden is the posh bit of Glasgow.
My Dad was delighted when I bought my first car from a house there, believing it would be in good shape.
The exhaust fell off on the way home. We would have done better to visit his old home of pollockshaws I reckon.

What's your point OP?

@FrancisCrawford a relative of mine used to tour with Jimmy Shand a billion years ago

Glaswegian living in exile south of the border. Wish I could vote SNP!

I'm fae Aberdeenshire, but noo livin' in Embra - not that I actually speak like that down here, as nobody would understand me! I knew the guy who sold Jimmy Shand his accordions!

Get Ready

I know. I live there, but they aren't Glaswegians. I'm from Glasgow, and I draw the line at including East Dunbartonshire. Even if I like it.

Naw it isnay! 😂

Although, I'm sure Glasgow City Council would love to be able to collect council tax from Bearsden or Milngavie.

Another teuchter here!

Have lived in various parts though, including Glasgow, Newton Meringues, ‘embra, Perth, Fife, and the ‘Nauld (what’s it called?). Now live an ocean away, but the islands will always be home!

Wished I lived north of the border. England's full of bawheids right now :-(
