19QOS19 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Again, what do you think your average Scottish person knows about English towns out with the major cities? A lot of English people love Scotland and know a lot about it, a lot of English people have never been to Scotland before as they prefer going somewhere hot on their holidays. All of this talk is just paranoia. I don't think they have to visit to know some basics. My post above being a great example. I don't get wound up by it nor am I having a dig at English folk but the amount of times folk are stumped if Glasgow or Embra aren't the answer is comical. There's no way of answering the question. Obviously England is far bigger so there are more answers to choose from but if I was to have a 'quiz off' with an English person and had to give 3 towns/cities for every one of their answers I reckon I could hold my own. Though wouldn't be able to tell you where they were as my geography is shite [emoji38] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 England is a far bigger country and, as QOS said, the questions are usually incredibly basic. A lot of contestants in pointless are just shit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, we may be going round in circles a little bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightmare Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 1 hour ago, Jamaldo said: It was the "Rovers" part that made it embarassing. If the answer had just been Raith then I could understand. The question didn't directly specify the answers would be the full town name, I don't think. It was worded like "which team is named after the town it plays in?" - so it's not saying the town would be called Raith Rovers. Just that they would be from Raith and have the Rovers ending. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your an adult and you're still using a child's toy for transportation. Have you no shame? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
