SCOTCH PEOPLE.

I'm glad to see that you refer to them as the Scotch.

So do I.

Obviously they know when they're well off and get more out of the union than they put in to it.

So if they depend on us so much, then surely England should now have a referendum on kicking them out of the union - just a thought. 

Never forget that we once built a wall across the country to keep them out.

If they want to be part of the union they will have to knuckle down
and start pulling their weight !

Scotch people...........lets be clear here with these 2 words you are endeavouring to describe people whose preferred beverage of choice is Scotch whisky ?  You wouldn't be uneducated enough to think your referring to the people north of the border by your description of 'Scotch people' would you, surely not?

come on they are good eggs

Glad they voted to stay, if they left they'd be sorely mist.

Most unseemly.

You wouldn't be uneducated enough to think your referring to the people north of the border by your description of 'Scotch people' would you, surely not?

Absolutely

That's you're by the way.

when did "Scotch" when applied to people from Scotland become pejorative? I read Andrew Carnegie's (1920) autobiography a few months back and he continually refers to himself and others as Scotch.

which wall did the English build. cheers.

"Absolutely

That's you're by the way"


Where do you come from Dr Crippen? because the above sentence certainly is not English! Your from Latvia would be my best guess.

P.S
Its good to see the BNP, lot are up early today

Re the wall, in fairness the English probably did help build it
but only as slaves to the Romans

WE ALL H8 THE SMELLY ENGLISH BLAH BLAH BLAH FOR YEARS ON END.

THEN THEY VOTE TO STAY WITH GREAT BRITAIN.

WHAT'S THAT ALL ABOUT?


Ask an adult to explain it for you YOMOMMA. HTH.

In "The Road to Wigan Pier" George Orwell refers to "The Scotchman" a character in his book. At the time it was written a number of other words, which are now unacceptable, were in common usage. Language and the meaning of words change over time, a good example is the delightful little word "gay" which has gained a completely new meaning since my schooldays.

Marvellous stuff from no moves above.

There's no doubt about it - education is a wonderful thing.
