I think you may be taking it a touch to seriously.No one thinks of it as an English or Scottish tank its normally thought of as British tank or British troops.Its just how some people say it.It was not meant to cause offence i'm sure,lighten up kiddo!

all the best

I don't want to jump into a squabble here but King and Country did make a set of the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders of the 51st Highland Division (EA 01) so you can't say he's ignored the Scots. In addition, what about the Scot Greys?

 

[Rob]

Yes,that EA Scottish piper is cool to.And as for the Scots greys, they are making me consider collecting NAP.But don't tell the wife!.

We Scottish are always overlooked!!!!!I mean we helped save the world in WW1 + 2 Remember 'SCOTLAND THE BRAVE' and ' O FLOWER OF SCOTLAND'???

You're kidding, right? Andy Neilson is Scottish. Would he ignore the Scots? Let's review:

1984-1996: Umpteen sets of glossy Seaforth Highlanders in fighting, parade and band positions.

1996-Present: Matt Modern Scottish regiments in parade order & bands(Black Watch, Gordons, Seaforths)

2002: WWII 8th Army Highlanders with Piper

1991, 1996-1998: 51st Highland Division vehicles including one of the original Sherman tanks (in my collection called "Scotland Forever!") and the wood Quad, Limber and 25 lb field gun

1994-1995, 2000-Present: Napoleonics up the yin yang, from the glossy (marching Gordons and standing officer, Sgt. Royal Scotts Grays) through the matt (71st Highlanders, Black Watch, Royal Scotts Grays)

2002-Present: American Revolution (Black Watch)

With the exception of U.S. & German figures, there might me more Scottish figures than any othe nationality.

I was kidding.

 

[jazzeum]

I was kidding.

Ah, you say that now

You should know better than to argue with two lawyers , especially an appeals lawyer like Louis.

 

[arnhem44mad]

No!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Actually Was Kidding!!!!

 

[Wraith]

No!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Actually Was Kidding!!!!

Are those your last words before the jury retires to decide on their verdict?

In the case of Regina vs. arnhem44mad, the forum finds you......

 

[Wraith]

.......NOT GUILTY!

Nobody seems to understand Scottish law anyway.

Darn, I was so looking forward to that hanged, drawn and quartered thing, charming old form of punishment. I do so wish they'd bring it back.

Fred

No can do Fred. Since Britain went all metric, nobody can figure out how to 0.25 someone.

Besides, the last time we p*ssed the Scots off, they kicked our backsides in much the same manner as the Aussies do in cricket today.

Still, we cut a mean cucumber sandwich, don't you know.

Simon

Ah yes, the metric system, when will the rest of the "civilized" world learn to measure things properly? You know a cucumber sandwich actually sounds pretty good to me, then again I'm one half English, don't know which half though , oops there I go again used standard measurements.

Fred

 

[Rob]

Could one of you Brits please tell me what "toad in the hole" is? I've heard it referred to in some English comedies and it sounds positively disgusting.

Is this thread getting just a tad off course, I hate when that happens.

Fred

 

[Rob]

Hey Fred,yes its a classic old English dish.You take a freshly killed toad,(or frog)go into your back garden dig a hole and pour onion gravy over it.Then you take a fork....i can't keep this up!

Its actually sausage thats cooked in the oven in a batter that rises around it.(a bit like our famous "yorkshire pudding")Often served with Mashed potato and gravy.Very nice when cooked properly.

Fred

 

[Rob]

Pigs in blankets is a good description indeed.And i know what you mean about Yorkshire pudding and gravy,delicious.As you say Fred,makes me hungry just talking about it!
