'Sweaty sock' is one of my favourites and it is all part of belonging. Until recently I would have said that my time in the Smoke was all positive as far as my being Scots was concerned. But now with GB and bankers various, not to mention those whose name might be Scotland, the word Scottish or derivations thereof are more spat-out than sang. Ah well if they are on my back they are leaving some other poor soul alone. dare I say, that if we could lose the habit of voting (new)Labour, things would improve all round. "A mans' a man for aw that." It is in the main that people are disappointed in us more that loathing at the moment. Diney fash yersel. I say. Although it may be that you hail from the west coast that makes that little bit more sensitive. Tee-hee. …A drop of Scotch never hurt anybody, surely. ‘Sweaty sock’ is one of my favourites and it is all part of belonging.
