Scotland in uproar.

Shouldn't the change in the recipe to reduce the sugar content by half be embraced as a good thing or is it a case of if it ain't broke don't fix it? I don't know, they'll be poaching mars bars next instead of deep frying them next.

Shut yer pus ya Sassanach bawbag.

If people like sweet drinks, they only have to buy a bag of sugar and a spoon.

The sugar content vital in helping you face up to lifes little problems.

BTW Slippy you aint really a Sassenach.
The term means lowlander and was used to describe those Scots who lived outside the highlands.
Been corrupted over the years to it's current meaning.

Poached Mars Bars

Because of a Load of Greedy Basterds who cannot Control their Urges the rest of us are reduced to Drinking Pish water and being Taxed to Do so ,there should be BMI scanners at the Tills to Tax the Culprits and not the Innocent ..

I have been in Take away Gaffs and seen People eating two Big macs etc WTF should I be taxed because of what is shear Greed ?

Parents oveloading their Kids with Sugar another Problem ,they Should be fined or taxed accordingly .

i always thought a sassenach was an english man with a red coat.

Sassenach means Saxon, not lowlander.

Hmmm. While I'm right, it seems that it does indeed originate to refer to lowlanders.

Well I have learnt something today akabula, I never knew what Sassenach really meant until now.

Being a highlander I know my post is accurate.
There was no love lost between the Highlander Scots and Lowlander Scots.

MDH I think we're both right.
Possibly meant different things in different parts of the UK.

its a good name for a horse=THE SASSENACH

Seems the Welsh version is 'Seisnig,' which I presume has evolved similarly.

Spot on Mikael.

We are powerless to stop the misery of the Scots under the SNP
Good , they deserve it

Mikael, I'm Irish so the adjective 'sassenach' really does not apply to me in any way.

If you cheer on England at rugby, you're a Sassenach.

And if you're a carping Southern belle with a bit of a mouth on her, you're a sassy-nag.

So when England are away to France in this years 6 nations in March and I'm cheering for England, which I will and I will punt them as well, that makes me a sassenach does it?

Who will you be cheering for when England play Wales or Scotland?

England, most definitely. When England play Ireland I obviously support the men in green. To be perfectly be honest with you Mikael, I would not cheer on Wales to win at any sporting event least of all my favourite sport which is rugby union and that's no matter who the opposition were.

As I understand it Sassenach means both lowlander Scots and the English. It was basically a term to refer to anyone below the Highland line. So anyone from South of around Aberfoyle.

thing is you all confuse those west coast maniacs with other Scots. Highlanders are taller and live longer than
the UK average. Most of the rest of Scotland at least matches the UK average but them weegie rat face illiterates
drag the rest of us down. Scotland really isn't all irn bru & deep fried mars bars, that's only 75% of it

Daniel Defoe ( he was an English spy) reported back that the highlanders were cannibals before the union with England

Daniel Defoe, bit of a Will Young look about him.

Defoe always came across as a bit of a southern mincer though. I don't imagine he'd have been the sort to quibble about what kind of meat was being offered around the fire.

are you disrespecting cannibals?

got to love an english spy reporting cannibalism. i would have eaten him out of spite

Got to agree with the ginger savages remark ,I blame the Vikings ,what they could not carry off they raped or killed ,even the cows are ginger up that .DD way ahead of his time and a truely remarkable dude ,hardly a spy ,the Irish must of been soft back in day as they folded like a cheap suit ,the ginger pagans came back so many times they just set up shop ,lowland scots stood firm ,same old same old .
