Mandalorian Hunter Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Does it ALWAYS rain in Scotland? I've heard the weather is fairly rainy there, and I could swear in Wales we get 360 days of rain, and I've heard the weather is worse in Scotland than Wales? Also, are all Scots as angry as the Scotsman from Dad's Army Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaye Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Best 'Ask' thread ever!! I recently found out that the Scots' nickname for the English is 'Sassanach', or something like that. Where does that come from, then? Is it true about the deep-fried chocolate bars? What do you think about the film Highlander?

What do you think about the film Highlander? (which I'll be watching later tonight ) Ah, Jaye ma quine, I thocht ye'd be droppin' in tae ma wee howf at some point. Lets see: 1. Sassenach was originally a term used to describe a lowland Scot (if memory serves me right). I think the root of the word was "saxon". The key difference was that they spoke English rather than the old Scots (not gaelic). It has of course over the years come to mean an English person. Up in Aberdeenshire we refer to them by the charming name of "Guffs" 2. Actually it is believe it or not (Mars bars originally), and they are as revolting as they sound. A heart attack wrapped in newspaper 3. Dear oh dear, a Frenchman just can't do a Scottish accent - you'll see what I mean. The ironic thing is Sean Connery plays a Spaniard and sounds as Scottish as ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm... A complex issue this....Of course, they display excellent taste in wanting to be Scottish, but we have to ensure that they are not subversive spies from Englandshire Well, spies in another league aren't that bad. Note Cardiff and Swansea Agent Cardiff has made excellent progress in infiltrating what the infidels call the 'F.A. Cup' All very true, and Cardiffs efforts are to be commended The only difficulty a Scottish infiltration team would face is that their hatred of the infidel is so strong, I fear they would be unable to remain under cover. I mean, one listen to Jimmy Hills jingoistic ranting would be enough to get the braveheart blood boiling, and it would only be a matter of time before the claymores were produced It could all get very messy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody sassenachs the lot o' ye!!! Hey Fridge, is there any truth to the story that the original Scottish shirts, the ones with the big sleeves, were used to hide sheep? And what's with the need to hide their female sheep, anyway? Great thread! K Actually, it's my theory that the wide sleeves were an ingenious safety device discovered by Tam McGoangeezacoafie in approx 1654. Tam was enjoying customary "relations" with one of his flocks near the top of a cliff when a mighty gust of wind lifted him and the unfortunate woolly friend clean over the edge. Much to his amazement, the voluminous nature of the sleeves acted like twin parachutes, gently wafting him to the ground (along with the sheep). Thus he immediately customised the garment to make it even more dynamic and added stiffer material round the edge to act as a wind break. This garment enjoyed widespread use amongst isolated and lonely crofters until the enclosure act amalgamated lots of farms and made the need for cliff top fraternizing redundant.
