Scotland?

[Brendan]

bugger!

bollox...

[Asset]

Isn't Scotland part of Great Britain?

[Mick Mac]

dunno.

[ruffers]

We went here for our honeymoon, it's in Scotland http://mhor.net/ .

[Asset]

Actually that was a rhetorical question. Part of Scotland is part of the island which is known as Great Britain. It also belongs to the United Kingdom and the British Isles. However it is its own country.

[dulwichmum]

Lets not go there. I believe that it is only slightly better than Wales (OHMYGOD).

[Mick Mac]

Scotland - lets not go there.

If "part" of Scotland is described thus, which "part" of Scotland is not "part of the island which is known as Great Britain"??

Actually Mick the very lovely Asset is Scottish.

[Mick Mac]

Tongue in cheek Jah - just thought it was amusing why someone would think there was any need to point out that Scotland was in Great Britain, only an American would think that was news to anyone surely.

How long has this been the case Mick?

Is it part of The British Isles, as well. or is only part of it "part of The British Isles" ??

Confused, Bexley

p.s. "Edited" as I missed the comma after "as well" which I profusely apologise for.

[Brendan]

I think Scotland (like the countries of England, Wales and London) is on Great Britain rather than in it. innit

Or have I got that wrong?

[SimonM]

The "part" of Scotland not part of "Great Britain" is presumably Orkney, Shetland and all the other islands?

[EDKiwi]

Surely if Asset was American they would have stated that 'Scotland is part of the island which is known as Great Britain. It also belongs to the United Kingdom and the British Isles, which in turn belong to the United States'.

Oh for gods sake you lot are we still banging on about the painted Picts!!!

This is exactly the sort of thing that should be exacted against uppity Celts!

I think we all know that the crappy Hollywood film that was Braveheart took liberties with history.

[bigbadwolf]

Yeah I know! Everyone knows they wear knickers under their kilts.

[Brendan]

Doesn't everyone?

Indeed! Lacey ones too. And stockings and suspenders in winter when it gets a bit nippy.

[RosieH]

That's a strangely erotic image

[Mick Mac]

Doesn't work for me Rosie. (The Jah part that is, its not that stockings don't do it for me).
