Maybe its because they ones that don't, can't actually understand what we are saying. Scottish people tend to talk quite fast and our sometimes thick accent and colloquialisms would go over the head of most, including the English. Here's a belter fur ye.....only in Scotland!. . U2 were playing a gig in Glasgow when in between a set, Bono started clapping his hands every 3 seconds. After doing this maybe 10 or 12 times he eventually addressed the crowd and said..........."Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies....." A solitary voice in the crowd piped up... "Well f*ckin stoap it then!"
