16 Reasons why you should be proud to be Scottish...

ambulance.
2. Only in Scotland...do supermarkets make sick people walk to the
back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people
can buy cigarettes at the front.

fries, and a diet Irn Bru.

pens to the counters.

the drive and keep our junk & lawnmowers in the garage.

tongue.

I am half scottish, my father is from Edingburh. He has never found it that hard to make himself understood in Singapore or anywhere else in the world! I hope you can understand what I am trying to say...Vincent Mothballs wrote:So...anyone from Scotland, then? With a Scottish accent? if you have....how easy is it for you to make yourself understood in Singapore (or anywhere else)?
