Hi!
Just wanted you Scotties to know that yours is a beautiful country, and that some of the views expressed in the thread on P&P that got locked today are surely anathemic to the vast majority of English on PH.
I live in Newcastle, know the Borders very well and head North at every opportunity.
A bit of friendly rivalry is cool, bit of banter never hurt anyone, and while you can't have Berwick back I just thought I'd chuck a bit of an olive branch up the A68.
That's it.

I think they wanted to make it Scottish. Not just visit. Also the general idea was to kill everybody and burn the houses down. A bit OTT but a holiday to remember. Ha ha.

Great post.

Have many friends from the NE of England and brilliant memories of top nights in the 'toon'.

And you're right - it is tremendous up here in Scotland!!!

I am an Englishman living in Inverness. I do have some redeeming features though

I don't care where you are from, just who you are.
The threads recently about 'The Scottish' or similar are pathetic.
If you come to this country and are a decent person then I am more than happy for you to be here.
