StreetwiseHercules Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 As a nationalist I rail against the Scottish Cringe in general terms but in truth there are some things about Scottish "culture" which do genuinely make my nervous system contort with embarrassment and irritation. I'll give you an example. The BBC's Two Doors Down. Horrified to hear that it's network wide. What causes you the cringe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEADOWXI Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Complaining about nonexistent problems, Worked in England for about 3 years from 1989 onwards since then have been up and down to all parts of England north, south, east and west for holidays, work, weddings, just passing through to get abroad on innumerable times and only once can I remember an issue with Scottish bank notes that took more than 30 seconds to resolve, and to be honest if I was handed something to cover payment that wasn't the usual to what I expect I would probably take about the same time to check it and read it. If someone takes an extra 30 seconds to look at a Scottish bank note to be sure it real, good on them for being observant and correct at their job, Don't take a hump and complain like it the restarting of the Highland Clearances.

Shandon Par Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 People complaining about English sports commentators. They accuse them of saying "if he does well he's British and if he does badly he's Scottish" (eg in the context of Andy Murray). Usually accuser saying it is so stupid they get it the wrong way round anyway and end up in a pool of their own xenophobic drool. The whole concept of being snidely racist would require a level of cognitive activity unlikely to be found in the vacuous noggin of said commentator anyway.
