INSULTS REQUIRED?

[minnie]

I am collecting every insult made about the Scots...this is for research and a laugh! I am compiling it for a web page I work for so any help would be used!!

I've heard them all......check out "a wee joke" in the Inn for some typical stereotypes. I'll have a look and see what else I can find.

a friend walks in when the rest of the world walks out - anonymous.

I believe it was Dr. Johnson (of dictionary fame) who said the best thing to come out of Scotland is the High Road south to England. But then he was a rather nasty snob who thought London was a great place ("He who is tired of London is tired of life.").

There's no accounting for taste.

how about the one that says copper wire was invented by 2 Scotsmen fighting over a penny

[Andrew_Marriott]

And the jigsaw was invented by an aberdonian who dropped a pound note into a mincer.

The real humdinger is
"aren't you all essentially english anyway ?"

More Irn Bru !!!!

OUCH!!!

Anyone saying that within earshot of me would be advised tae ging awa an bile his hied.
