Just in case you are interested, I do not have an inferiority complex, nor have I spent too much time with sheep and I am certainly not anyones little brother.

I have been around the world long enough to know what's best for me.

Now then Fella
Me and the family are from Hull ('ull) and we have been asked if we are from Scotland. Stupid Kiwis or what? Start asking all Kiwis/Split Enz/Pavlovas are from OZ that really pissees them off.

I hope they like the Scots as I'm one, but hey wots not to love about us LOL

Anyway I always go on the belief take me as you find me and if you don't like me it's your loss! No doubt i'll be taken as Irish though as I'm either Irish or Australian when I visit the US so god only knows what NZers will think I am LOL

It's all going to be a great adventure so I'll enjoy it and make the most of it. Bit worried about them not doing sarcasim though as its something that comes so naturally

I am sure that the Scots with their free-spending carefree attitude to life are surely AS popular in NZ as they in the UK mmm Yes

I have always found that being Scottish goes down well when travelling. I first noticed when doing a round Europe trip one summer - people from Athens to Paris were so happy to hear that we were Scottish and not English that I was quite shocked. We even had someone tell us that we should be Nationalists and "kick the English out". Whatever.

I now get mildly annoyed when I hear anti-English sentiment from folk who don't know London from Linlithgow, usually when they fully expect us to join in with it. The reality is, Scots and English are not that different from one another. We definitely have a cuter accent though

Soon as I mention I'm Scouse I get the usual 'check your bag-check you car-check your purse! And that's from everyone.

In response I usually punch them,steal their purses and then buy a car with their credit cards. Oh how we laugh of an evening!

All the Scottish people I've met here have been Scottish,but some of the Irish haven't.

Isn't that why the planes never actually stop at John Lennon airport, as they'd be up on bricks before you could say "I thought George Harrison was the talented one too...."

I worked with a (gorgeous) Scots guy down in the south of England. We became great pals (honest just pals). He asked me how the Scots accent went down with "foreign" blokes and informed me a Scots accent was a gift from God for a bloke. He said that when he walked into a foreign pub, as soon as he opened his mouth "he could hear the knicker elastic snapping"!

(It's not the same for us wifies BTW)

lardyl
