gaz 284 Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Scotland is more diverse than some are giving credit to on here imo...sure theres bawbags up here just like they are bawbags everywhere,and depending where you are talking about theres some bits that are stinking with dosh and some bits that are not so much...some bits that are tory strong holds and well plenty that are not aswell as some bits you wouldn't wander about at night looking for directions if you were lost ect ect ....Scotland is not that much different from down south in many ways. imo a lot of places have still a stronger or tighter community than maybe down south but I suppose that again might be just what bits you are talking about....two of my best pals up here are a English fella and a strong tory fella and sure we tear shreds out of each other but its all in good jest and that is what you will get with 90% of the good people of Scotland...put it this way I know of plenty of English folk that has put their roots down around me and theres not many that are in hurry to scurry away back down south Best of luck to you and your family bud iam sure you will get on just fine up here. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MickC 1,825 Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Only advice I can give is,it doesn't matter what you do they will hate you anyway lol.Rangers men will have blue gazelle trainers on,blue tracksuit bottoms and blue tops. Celtic men will have green gazelles on,green tracksuit bottoms and green tops,occasionally they will wear an Argentina strip.During any International football tournaments all Scots will wear the strips of all the teams playing against England and most will wear a t shirt with ABE emblazoned across the front, Anybody But England. They hate all English but if you mention they had there vote for Independance and voted to stay and voted NO be prepared for torturous banter for a prolonged period.

nothernlite 18,089 Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 I made the move from salubrious Salford to bonnie Scotland many years ago. My advice would be: Don't get involved in Celtic Rangers religious banter. They know what's acceptable. You don't. The rivalry is deadly serious. People still get killed for wearing the wrong shirt at the wrong time. This crap is mostly confined to Glasgow however. Don't refer to scots as 'Scotch'. Scotch is a drink or a produce not a Scottish person. Don't refer to Andy Murray or any other successful scot as British or even worse English. They go apeshit about that. You will hear the native cry of 'he's scottish ya bastart'. Accept that the scots love to see England beaten at any sport. They still think their 'fitba' team are worldbeaters and love to tell you that. I remember in 1978 watching the Scotland football team in a pub. Archie Gemmel scored . The pub erupted and the whole bar started to roar 'Flower of Scotland' whilst pointing at me. If you want to shut them up about fitba just say 'is that the time? 9 past Haafey'. Haafey was the scottish goalie who let in 9 goals against England in 1961. He emigrated after that. Male scots don't talk much. They grunt a lot. The joke about the Englishman walking into a scots' pub saying 'hello' to the guys at the bar and being told to 'shut the f**k up, I came here to drink Jimmy, no tae talk' is about right. Accept you are going to get called an english c**t/bastart/shit. It's no big deal. They have a chip on their shoulders about us (who wouldn't given what was done to them over many centuries) but I've never been truly discriminated against because of my Englishness. Be aware Scotland is much more left wing/bolshie than England. The tories are the enemy, English, plum- voiced public school boys are hated with particular intensity. Farage/UKIP are hated as well. Farage had to have scores of police ( the f****n polis) to rescue him from a pub in Edinburgh where hundreds of scots had him holed up. Brexit is not supported by two thirds of scots. Scots see everybody as equals--any posing as a superior will get you a 'dunt in the baas'. Listen and don't say much until you get your bearings. You are a guest in their country so be respectful. When you've been here a few years then you can open up and rip the piss out of them. Jock baiting is very enjoyable. They are easily roused, the most easily wound up people in the world. 'A guest in their country'!?!? Funny cos anyone who moves to England....Even if they are black as the ace of spades and don't speak a word of English, has to be referred to as British as the rest of us or we are racist. These attacks coming from left wing farage haters like the jocks. Load of pasty faced, country ruining gobshites. Sorry for the rant. Enjoy your move PRICK 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
