If Scotland is so wee,,poor and stupid ,why DO WM aka the ENGLISH parliament want so desperately to hold onto us

Except the tartan – that was a product of the Yorkshire woollen industry
That is, I believe, a myth.

Tartan has an ancient history. The earliest known tartan in Scotland can be dated to the third or fourth century AD. In other parts of the world, tartan cloth has been found dating to approximately 3000 BC. Virtually everywhere there was woven cloth, people created tartan designs

I've no idea paddyann why don't you ask them.

I don’t necessarily see them like that. Just that someone feels strongly about an issue ?

I think the responses only say that they’re fed up being shouted at - by anybody, about anything!

I think most long term posters, which includes some responders, are perfectly used to paddyann's style by now. No need to be rude to her...

Hear hear but it is the go to response for some.

Shouty capitals in posts are consciously designed to put peoples backs up though, which is also rude and unnecessary.

Does the green electricity which we export or the essential water count?

I'm not being rude to paddyann btw

I hope she knows that
I know that she does have SOH

I cannot believe how some people take posts so literally.

🤔

silly

Nice.

Callistemon21 of course not, silly! They're our proudest exports. Except the tartan – that was a product of the Yorkshire woollen industry.

I have enjoyed a very acceptable Welsh haggis bought from an English market stall.

You can have a Burns Supper anywhere you like, so long as you can get a decent haggis.

I'm so glad I moved here and I wouldn't go back, not now.

😲 do you think Burns Suppers, cèilidhs, whisky, haggis and tartan will be banned outside Scotland if they gain independence, LadyHonoriaDedlock?

Please, no.

and everybody tying themselves in knots stripping the willow and not caring
We do that here too.

Shall we be allowed to have Burns suppers in Wales?

We do have a large number of ex-pat Scots here.

Aside from whisky we also have haggis suppers, tablet, cranachan, Loch Fyne Ales, ashet pies, proper butchers, Morton's rolls and the best free bus rides anywhere (926 Glasgow to Campbeltown particularly recommended and 916 Glasgow to Uig is excellent too). We also do a braw cèilidh complete with men in kilts and everybody tying themselves in knots stripping the willow and not caring.

I'm so glad I moved here and I wouldn't go back, not now.

And your whisky 🙂

Well, I don't personally, but DH does.
🥃

It's because we love you.

And your whisky 🙂

IrishDancng It says about me shouting is not appreciated.

Scotland does make good Whisky, they have quite a lot of oil and gas, otherwise I can’t think why we need them.

The responses say a lot about the responders...

Oh dear..

Nah. Just her usual SHOUTY capitals. Says a lot.

Are the SHOUTY CAPITALS Saturday night capitals?
