    Gives new meaning to Scotland The Brave - it gets fearsome cold there...
    If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhoea... does that mean that one enjoys it?.

    A comment made by Sam, our (my office) resident Scott, upon my showing her this video clip "I thought it was only dumb Americans who referred to we Scots as Scotch. Scotch is a bloody whisky FFS".

    Norty norty Mr H. Beware the angry haggis munchers.

    Given it was for a whisky advertisement, I thought the use of Scotch would be OK?

    Ach, Ah coulnae resist - eftar a' the BDOTGNZA boather an that.

    things that are Scotch:

    Scotch Eggs
    Scotch Mist
    Scotch Whisky
    Hop Scotch
    Butterscotch

    The people of Scotland are Scots or Scottish - the local lingo is called Scots Tongue (unless you're a cheuchter in which case it's Gaelic) this is words like kirk, bairn, unco, wee, brig, ken, doon, ocht etc.

    Actually in strict English terms "Scotch" is not incorrect, seeing as it was used in a "patronising or faintly offensive" method.

    I agree with Hitcher, it's an advert for scotch whisky, and is THEIR haka, not the Scottish peoples - otherwise it would have to be "The Scot's Haka", you lot are correct about that.
    I told him,
    "Son, what is it with you? Is it ignorance or apathy?"

    He said,
    "Coach, I don't know and I don't care."

    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
