If the jocks spoke more clearly you would realise that you are misinformed and the jocks are even more arrogant, opinionated, misinformed and xenophobic than there English betters. How else account for Ally's tartan army?

When I was taught English, it was their betters.
How do I account for Allies Tartan Army? Well, it was over 30 years ago. Nothing more recent?There's love in this world for everyone. Every rascal and son of a gun.
It's for the many and not the few. Be sure it's out there looking for you.
In every town, in every state. In every house and every gate.
Wth every precious smile you make. And every act of kindness.

Its not my fault the jock soccer team are too poor to qualify. Maybe if the kids of scotchland ran about a bit more and ate less fried mars bars, eh?I wonder why it is, that young men are always cautioned against bad girls. Anyone can handle a bad girl. It's the good girls men should be warned against.-David Niven0 -
You're right! Edinburgh particularly has a seedy, dirty underbelly that goes against it's more refined image. Strip clubs, massage parlours etc. I'm sure if you wanted filth you managed to find it.

Edinburgh only just beats Dublin by a short head in the "filthy City stakes" , but my gosh its a dirty old place.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

When I lived in Edinburgh years ago, I used to work exactly in the middle of the 'pubic triangle'.
