Do the Scots actually hate the English?

Been up here 16 years now with no bother at all (central belt) I have good friends all over Scotland via a fishing forum i frequent. We had a fishing meet up at Peterhead one year, with lads coming up from England and Wales. We went out on the drink in Peterhead that night and the banter was top class, nee bother at all.

janiep hates this.
 
Lived and Worked in Motherwell for the last 3 years and I can honestly say until I came up here I thought the jocks were OK. After being up here for 3 years my mindset has changed dramatically, they are the biggest insular small minded bitter bunch of bastards I've ever came across. The anti English mentality stretches further than workplace banter too sometimes to the point where I know I've not gotten jobs after being interviewed simply because of me being English

I truly hate these bastards with a passion now and cannot wait to relocate to the states this year

The anti english thing has got so much worse since the rise of the SNP IMO.
 
As Samuel Johnson once said " the fairest sight in Scotland is the road to England. He didn't like the Scots and I'm not so sure that they care for us.

No wonder they hate you, yee sound like a reet bellend.
 
I hate the way on social media how they type like they talk (granted I do this in texts to mates at times but for some reason it f***ing grates on me).

Everything is "the now" "wee" "dinae" etc. They sound as thick as pigshit.
 
I think it's just part of the national mindset - it isn't necessarily an anti-English thing. Weegies hate non-weegies, highlanders hate lowlanders, Aberdonians hate weegies, Edinburgers hate weegies, everyone hates Dundonians etc. etc.

Annar, not like us mackems speak all proper anarl y'naar, like. WAD.
 
Will you join my Kickstarter to fund research into a new type of giant chainsaw so we can cut the whole lot off the top of England and push them out to sea?

Have you considered that if we cut them off the top of England, it might be us that float off into the sea, Wile E Coyote style!

I'm a bit partial to a bit of cold full fat iron bru out of a glass bottle now and then. Probably the best thing they've invented tbh.


I believe it actually comes from Manchester though.............

Lived and worked in Edinburgh for 20 odd years and not a pick of bother or animosity. Think majority have a close affinity given similar history with heavy industry, being ignored by southern based politics, etc.

Aye but the Edinburgh people are not very popular in the rest of Scotland apparently. The comedian Kevin Bridges puts it thus:

"In Scotland we call people from Inverness Inveronians, people from Dundee Dundonians, people from Glasgow Glaswegians, but people from Edinburgh are called "they ***** frae Edinburgh"!" :lol:

There are a lot of English people living in the Eeedinburg area, about 400k total in the whole of Scotland apparently.
 

It's ridiculous. Imagine if the word for "French" and the word for "vintage Champagne" sounded almost identical, and you accidentally referred to a French person as something they proudly export round the world and which is a byword for quality and refinement. They'd smile and think ah, you haven't got the hang of the language yet... The Scots act like you just took a dump on the grave of Robert Burns
