How Lucky Are The Scots?

[royfromaus]

As above

We DO have all of those things and YOU have pneumatic tyres, television, anaesthetics, penicillin, the telephone and so on to the horizon.
We shared these things because, unlike some neighbours, we're generous to a fault and can take a joke without resorting to tired old clichés offered up as cutting edge humour.

Let the wind blow high, etc.

LOLZ

And we are eternally grateful Douglas, please forgive my flippancy about dear Andy

I'm luckier than the Scots - I won't get a letter from wee Jimmy Krankie

[brainiac]

Don't know about lucky, but where would the world be without us?

Brainiac , I’m truly humbled :0/

[Sam1960]

I'll send you mine Hopkirk

[royfromaus]

The vast majority (if not all) of those inventions are British, not Scottish.
We had domesticated you by then, brainiac.

Alas half of Donald Trump's DNA is Scottish, I think that's why he dyes himself the same colour of Irn Bru.

[douglas9401]

Aye, but even he knows not to get it in or around the eyes. :-)

If I could have two BA's.

Bring back the stars.

royfromaus - maybe you'd like to post a link to 'Australian inventions and discoveries' ? I'd love to read it.

[royfromaus]

In 1793 when convicts eventually accepted they were never going to get back to England they became Australian and invented something now known as a sense of humour.

[Spicerack]

And, er, erm, it won't come back to me now.

Lucky in the same way as the English..... To live in a beautiful country
