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
No doubt purchased by men in long kilts.
Hey, McCloud, get off of my ewe!
Gorbachev called President Reagan and asked a favor. STD’s were on the rise in the USSR and Soviet technology being what it was, the USSR needed 1 billion top quality condoms. President Reagan agreed to have US companies manufacture them and asked what size he wanted. Gorbachev thought for a minute and said they needed to be 2 inches in diameter and 10 inches long.
When President Reagan contacted the condom manufacturers and told them of the deal, they asked what he wanted to be printed on the packaging.
President Reagan thought for a moment and said, “On one side, put “Made in the USA”. On the other, put “Small”.
BUAIDH NO BAS!
Craig Ferguson will have a lot of fun with this.

Reminds me of a joke.
When the subject of condoms comes up you ask your buddy “Have you ever seen the serial numbers printed at the base of a condom?” When he says “No.” you reply “I guess you didn’t need to roll it down that far.”
Burned a buddy of mine with that and he did the quickest turnaround burn to a guy down the lab bench that I had ever seen.
Did you ever see that serial number stamped on the bottom?
No?
Oh - you never had one rolled down that far?
dammit
Que?
They’ve discovered it’s a good way to keep your socks dry. Also works well keeping water out of the muzzle of your rifle.
I guess they like their condoms “loose fit” like their jeans.
Scottish men are soooo overweight.
