Rising swiftly to the bait... Jock Rant II
Why do you assume this is directed at the English?
I believe it was a British entry, not an English one. Of course, some English assume one is the same as the other,its not.
How about having a pop back at the bogtrotters, sweatysocks and sheepshaggers, but using humour instead of the Kenneth Williams' Imfamy!Imfamy! speech? Thats how the lesser mortals on these isles have handled living with a large, bombastic and at times homourless neigbour. Oh and take notes from our sporting teams as well, once you've come last a few times you learn to enjoy the event more, ask the Tartan army.
I thought it was a funny subject line, made me laugh, after all a large part of the orginal 'limeys' were Jocks and Irish, I know cause I've seen 'Hornblower' twice.
Which reminds me, did you hear about the two Jock sailors at the battle of Trafalgar? When the stirring famous 'England expects every man to do his duty' went out, one Jock said
'Whitaboot us?'
The second replied ' They dinnae hav tae tell us, Scotland kens we'll do oors'
or as me old fayther says 'Yi kin aye tell an Englishman, but yi cannae tell him much'
Big hugs Ratty and as my six year old would say 'Take a chill pill'
