Cosmic Joe Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 My other half likes to listen to Classic FM. I can tolerate this up to a point, don't mind a bit of Chopin. Every so often however you get "Land of Hope and Glory" and the likes. They will even play this after the news, with Putin's nonsense making the headlines.

philpy Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 I'm currently on holiday, and I've had 3 people phoning me asking me to get them a discount on timber. It never happens when I'm not on holiday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House Bartender Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 In the meejah, there's an assumption that places in Ingerlund are known to all whereas those in Scotland are unworthy of a mention as whogivesashit. Bad enough from Fleet Street/BBC London, but it's rife in Scotland too. Generally lazy journalism, can't be bothered correcting press puffs. And no sub-editors. as in (from Saturday's Herald) "Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth has returned to it's home base following visits to Liverpool and Scotland". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The addition to this is how they describe where places are. They will say, Newquay in Cornwall, Brighton in Sussex, Scarborough in Yorkshire thus offering to narrow where places are but it just, Paisley in Scotland, Methil in Scotland, Arbroath in Scotland. It just up there somewhere but we really don't care, and assume the majority don't care either. England is 50,000 Sq miles and Scotland is 30,000, But they are myriad of counties and areas worth breaking down and knowing about, we are just one big lump stuck on the top of the them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 It's the same when you watch quiz shows- it's amusing when you see English contestants totally puzzled over a Scottish question, even supposed clever ones like Oxbridge students on University Challenge. Mind you my knowledge of the geography of Northern Ireland/the North of Ireland/The Failed Statelet/Jack's Granda's back gairden isn't the best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
