Personal experience. Same scenario for every Scot I have asked about it. In some countries it is more obvious than others, probably for logical reasons.

It is so people don't mistake us for English. We get a better reception where ever we go if this is made clear. This is not meant to be a dig at the English by the way, I love them, it's just the way it is.....

Re: British Expats
Here - you'll fit in if you drive like a twat, wear long thick white socks with flip flops, wear furry boots and knitted hats in the summer, wear lumberjack shirts, have long goatie beards, suck on straw and play the banjo at the same time, own a dog and let it bark all day and night whilst threating the neighbours, and listen to dodgy 80's music. |
