I've only been to Scotland once, after the hours stuck on the road we pulled over in Edinburgh.
I went into HMV to have a look around while I was there, and some guys were trying out the Pokemon Stadium demo and he yelled "wth! how could Geodude lose to a Squirtle!", later on I picked up a Gold plated Charizard and a shiny Blastoise pokemon card.

That's my collective memory of Scotland lol.

Out of interest what do you all call round bits of bread? Where I am it's a T-cake but, I often end up with a dead fly cake (current bun) when asking for this in other parts of the Isles. The amount of names I have heard is astonishing. Local dialects, masters of confusion.

It is a Cob in the midlands and a Barm in manchester.

I'm a limey, drinking coffee in Reading, originally from Milton Keynes (if you're afraid of roundabouts, good for you; it has shitloads).

Good day, ladies and gentlemen. I hail from Coventry but live in Birmingham. I do NOT sound like a Brummie. I drink so much tea it may be possible that I have replaced most of my blood with it.

Sign me up for the tea and clotted cream scones, that stuff is artery clogging good!

Also, in Coventry a Cob/Balm/Teacake is known as a Batch. Call it by anything else and you'll get something quite different, like a Mars bar or a punch in the gob.

Bah I was born in Sheffield and am currently living in Rotherham. As many of you know, it's a Chav-opolis. Anyone who thinks they have it bad, come to Rotherham and change your opinion. Chavs, bakeries and pound shops. >.>

Plus, he called himself a limey. We don't do that, them colonials do!
I knew it's shameful to not like tea, but I just don't like the taste. At least I can swear like a brit instead of calling everything "******" (is that really something to be proud of?)
