If I'm to believe what she said is true, I'll bet she left out the first bit of the conversation when she said something ignorant about Scotland!

Welcome, SY

[armand.kay]

Maybe Sally accidentally heard the spirits of medieval scotts telling her to get out and she thought it was a living person shouting at her

[fred7853]

Maybe like us she is sick of idiots like sturgeon banging on about it.

It has to be utter BS though, my wife is English and has lived here for 7 years, and has never been mocked for her accent... other than by me, playfully, of course .

Also I work in a busy bookmakers in a pretty rough town and have never even HEARD anyone take the piss out of people with Engliah accents and we have plenty of English regulars. Plus one of my co-workers is English... and has lived here for 40 years (managing somehow to not lose her accent at all) and people don't even mock HER accent. Which is really incredible as everyone mocks her for pretty much everything else .

There's some gentle ribbing if England are playing in any major tournaments and that's pretty much the extent of it .

Basically I think the main reason it has to be BS is that it would rely on hearing English accents being "unusual" in Scotland. But... LOADS of English people live here... plus there's a lot of tourism... so hearing all sorts of accents isn't unusual at all .

Actually...

Wait...

Maybe she went to Ayrshire. If it was Ayrshire... tbh yeah it might be true. Hahaha.

We've been to Scotland every year for years on holiday, the worst place we experienced it was in Ullapool ( North Highlands ) and the lady we hired the cottage from said it had taken the locals years and years to accept an English family buying a cottage up there ,she said things got slightly better after 8-9 yrs but still some locals ignored her ,she had had letters posted through her door telling them to leave

The NW highlands is the "Deep South of Scotland" to be fair. It definitely wouldn't happen in the "tourist highlands" (East coast / Inverness etc.)

Inverness is, however, absolutely full of junkies . I think that's where the Loch Ness Monster myth came from. Some guy hallucinating whilst smacked off his tits.

It's like everything...a small minority spoil it for others.

once i was in Edinburgh and Demi Lovato came up to me and flicked me in the vagina in a Scottish accent. we will not be silenced!

[Northern Monkey]

Sally was doing the SNP’s work for them

[user104658]

And, not that it makes it any better etc etc etc, but when I lived and worked in Lancashire for two years, I was on the receiving end of a LOT of accent mocking... as well as being called "Jock" and asked "Where's your kilt??" at least twice a week. But again being fair, it was backwater Lancashire, and I'm pretty sure most people didn't marry outwith their bloodline let alone their county . Plus it was intended to be goodnatured... usually... there was that guy who wanted to "Drag me outside and jump up and down on my head, Jock!"...

I've never experienced anything negative in any "proper" town or city in England.

[Crimson Dynamo]

It was total lies and never happened


vile liar woman

[poppsywoppsy]

I have a certain sympathy because every time I see Sturgeon and her supporters trying to use every twist and turn to suit their agenda, my reaction is to say, Well, off you go then.

However, the Scottish people to their credit want to stay and have given their answer to these politicians.

I agree, I love Scotland, the Highlands, Argyll, the Lochs, the mountains, oh wish I was there. Xx
