Can I join please? I'm an exile; Edinburgh born, bred and educated but living in Somerset (Bath).

I've written this entry A13410307 providing advice for Scots people moving south, primarily 'cos I was bored one week. I'd be grateful if others would care to read/comment/contribute/let me know whether it's too xenophobic for PR. Any suggestions for making it funnier would be particularly appreciated smiley - cheers

Favourite 'jock-joke' is How do you make a Scottish ommlette?

You start off by borrowing two eggs...

smiley - laughWell I liked the entry and recognised a lot of it. I think the humour level is nicely balanced. Too much and the article ceases to be useful; too little and it starts to look xenophobic. Keep it right where it is smiley - ok

The only thing that jarred was the twice-mentioned point about Scots beggars. This, although not without a kernel of truth, doesn't really fit with the tone of the piece.

Other than that, thanks - I thoroughly enjoyed it smiley - cheers
