@margo,
lol to be fair i was mucking about and making a mountain out of a mole hill, i did get called it, by some people we were staying with, but they were family of my girlfriend at the time, and we were just lumped together as whingeing poms. i think they enjoyed my "but im not f@#kin' english" over reaction more than they enjoyed ripping it out of her, the actual target. so anyway don't read too much into that.
and i can't remember the last time a scot had anythng important to say, so i wouldnt worry. he was probably only asking if you could give him a tenner for a bottle of scotch, or a hit of heroin
