    Scotlands Drink Problem. Are we going soft?

    Went back home for a holiday last week and took the family to Edinburgh.
    Took this pic of one of my fellow countrymen(disclaimer he is from Glasgow).
    He was running around Princes Street posing for the tourists.
    Fair enough if tourists think we are all nutters.
    But I take exception to them all going home with the idea that we all run around with Barrs Irn Bru strapped to our kilts.

    It was (supposedly) invented as a hangover cure, so surely that is acceptable?

    No the Scottish hangover cure is to drink some more.

    Does that mean if i walk round london in a suit, bowler hat and an umbrella the tourists will take a picture of me aswell?

    Think it's the tourists that have a drink problem if they want a photo of him!

    Nope, no way. I'm actually quite offended by people thinking we all look like him.

    He's not got any porridge in his beard for starters, and I don't see any bagpipes. Aaaaand he's got a shirt on.

    Does no-one watch Scotland play footy ? Ah, right enough, now I think about it, probably not. Anyway, next time we're on, watch as the camera pans into the crowd, that's us. Shirtless, drunk, hopelessly optmistic, pale, chubby or skinny but seldom in between.
