SCOTTISH men buy larger condoms than their counterparts south of the border.
Supermarket giant Tesco today reported that more of its extra-large condoms had been bought in Glasgow than anywhere else in the UK.
The new condoms – 10mm longer and 1mm wider than the standard version – went on sale at Tesco earlier this month. And the retailer's sales map of its new condom – the first to be sold in the UK – showed most were sold in Glasgow.
Edinburgh saw the seventh-highest sale figures in the UK, beating Sandhurst, Hatfield and Chester in a top 10 league.
Strong sales were also recorded in Cambridge, Manchester, Cardiff and Bristol, Tesco said.
Nicola Evans, Tesco's healthcare buyer, said: "Demand for extra-large condoms has been a success, especially in Scotland.
"In the last year there has been a very strong demand for a larger-sized condom and the sales prove that there is a market for them in the UK.
"At the moment they are on sale in 430 stores across the UK but we hope that they'll be on sale in more stores in the near future."
The extra-large condoms, made by Durex, are sold in packs of 12 costing £9.53.
The top 10 places for the extra-large condom sales are:
1. Glasgow 2. Cambridge 3. Manchester 4. Cardiff 5. New Malden 6. Bristol 7. Edinburgh 8. Hatfield 9. Chester 10. Sandhurst
It’s cause they’re drunk when they buy them.
Well then I’m Scottish.
That’s because they like bigger sausages than the Brits.
LOL, that ole joke, send them that size and mark the carton size small.
Damn! I wonder how I can get relocated over there? :D
I guess whiskey d(censored) is merely an Irish thing.
And in a follow up storm...the pregnancy rate in Scotland jumps. /sarcasm
From Mike Cross:
Well, a Scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evening fair
And one could tell by how he walked that he’d drunk more than his share
He fumbled ‘round until he could no longer keep his feet
And he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
Ring-ding-diddle-liddle-I-de-o, ring-di-diddley-I-o
Oh, he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
About that time two young and lovely girls just happened by
One says to the other with a twinkle in her eye
See yon sleeping Scotsman so strong and handsome built
I wonder if it’s true what they don’t wear beneath the kilt...
They crept up on that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be
Lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see
And there behold for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth...
They marveled for a moment then one said we must be gone
Let’s leave a present for our friend before we move along
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow
Around the bonnie star the Scots kilt did lift and show...
Now the Scotsman woke to nature’s call and stumbled towards the trees
Behind the bush he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees
And in a startled voice he says to what’s before his eyes
Oh, lad I don’t know where you’ve been but I see you won first prize...
Thats so they can also fit their hands in them.
Yeah baby. Buy the larger sized ones then find the good looking checkout girl and use her line. :)
They got sick of hearing their horses complain that the condoms were too tight.....
The thrifty scots buy bigger sizes because they reuse them 9 or 10 times.
Quit tinkin’ with your dipstick Jimmie!
