Please can we have a Scottish MN section - Mawsnet, mebbe?

[StayingSamVimesGirl]

Following on from discussion on another thread - could we have a Scottish section, please?

The local information is good, but it is too local to apply to the whole of Scotland, if you see what I mean.

OO I don't seriously think anyone would expect it to be called bawbagsnet! I took it as a lighthearted suggestion.

Maw doesn't bother me (although I don't like the word and don't use it) but bawbag is a word I've often seen used as an insult. I also think it isn't very inclusive

How about fannybawsnet? Thats pretty inclusive

*sniggers

fannybawsnet

fannybawsnet.....yes you are right, this is a far better representation of equality

Pretty rude that one but have to go as wAtching Richard 3 service and it is starting

A Scottish section would be good for certain things, but FFS not a Mawsnet or any other weegie term that effectively ignores the rest of Scotland.

Oh dear its getting serious. I honestly wouldn't expect mumsnet to give us a Scottish topic with anything other than a boring Scotsnet or just plain Scotland name. But its nice to cairy oan!

'Kay - as long as we're not going all shortbreed, kilts and och aye the noo then count me in

What about TeacakeSpotting?

So you don't think we should ask for all the OPs in a MNScotsnet section to be hightlighted in tartan then, SirChenjin? lighthearted

och how noo

God no Staying - we should ask for them to be deep fried

Can we also have a deep fried mars bar instead of a ?!

Can you imagine the stramash that would cause! How would we decide which tartan?

Definitely safer to stay clear of tartan. Unless it's the famous Chen tartan, of course.

I agree that this would be a very good idea. Even laws governing marriage and inheritance, house buying, are all different from the rest of the UK.

I wondered what that awful noise coming from under the table was Christina - I didn't like to say...

It's an AYE! from me for a Scottish section, whatever name it goes by

Well I have had a bit of a dodgy stomach, too many chips and fried mars bar I fear.....

Ah, but the biscuit already has a Scottish origin.

I always think that biscuit looks like a ginger Scot who's been out in the sun for too long

According to twitter, you can now get a creme egg Scotch egg. I feel a bit sick.

Actually witches suggestion of MumsnetAlba is lovely and nicely inclusive I'd have thought.

Alba??! What's wrong with Scotland?
