Was that an indirect slur on the Piob Mhor? "
Ach noo,
I wouldna make fun of anything from those tiny island nations we in the new world remember faintly as 'home'.
Although they do spell 'Stewart' wrong most times ... but my family is from a tad east of there, over on the continent.
Noo then, lad, I dinna want ye treatin Sassenach like inferior folk, een though thats often true. There are guid, kind, intelligent and een holy people among their different tribes. Why, maist o the saints ye hear tell of are Sassenach. That's why yere no tae be treating folk unkindly just for an accident o birth that they're nae Scots - pity them, aye, but dinnae mock them.
But I am sensitive to Scottish sensibilities, or those with Scotch in them ( as they say), so if I have offended any of them I will gladly buy them a beer at the Chatsworth BBQ and CMP fun day that is up your way on the 26th.
See you there.
