A friend and I were staying in North Yorkshire and decided to drive up to the border of Scotland for a day . Once there , we stopped in to a pub for a beer . We were sitting at the bar and 4 young dudes were playing pool . Next thing we knew billiard balls began being shot in our direction . Guess they didn’t like our looks and/or the fact we were Yanks . We finished our beers and took our time driving back to England .
I’ve only been to Scotland once. We were staying in a hotel in Edinburgh. I was having a few pints of Wm. Younger’s Tartan Bitter and the locals were playing darts. As the clock ticked neared 2230, they got friendlier and friendlier. They even bought their Yank visitor a couple of pints. It turns out that as long as there is a guest of the hotel in the bar, they have to keep the bar open. I stayed there until I was legless and then they had to leave.
Dont take Scotland by those idiots.
We are famously friendly and we like Americans (as long as you patronise us about being ‘quaint’).
My post should read ‘dont patronise us’.....lol
