The scots dont drink.
And have you met EVERY SINGLE SCOTTISH person Tommy?? :evil:
Don’t class us all together just because of a few people you have met. :roll: I’m certainly no alcoholic – it’s sometimes months before I have any alcohol
And call us a region all you want – no Scot will agree :P

Very interesting. 8)
England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland have all been regarded for centuries as nations, and are still correctly referred to as such. This has nothing to do with legal status. England, Scotland and Ireland all were once Kingdoms, but no longer are (since 1707 in the case of England and Scotland, 1800 in the case of Ireland). Wales was not a Kingdom but a Principality, and is sometimes still referred to as such.
The site likes to call England, Wales and Scotland (et al), nations :wink: Which i think is rather apt.
However:
So what about “Britain”? This is not a term with any legal meaning, but if you ask the English person in the street what country they live in surveys show that more will answer “Britain” than anything else. So it should probably be taken as a back-formation from “British”, and therefore to mean “United Kingdom”.
But thats English people…what if you were to ask a drunken (oops) :oops: I mean tee total Scot? What would their answer be. :?
Whoops double posting :oops:
Well apparently there are a godzillion more people living in the country of England….so theoretically that would mean the ratio for alcofrolics should be higher… or um something like that :wink: Ok so i’m not clevererererrr but i have mighty good ideas.
nope, hic :oops:
only if u promise to shake them real close up lol =P~
