I defo won’t do the accent bit, as with my background I embrace all accents and avoid idiotic mimicry at all times.No problem pal. I forgot to add that in August, it's considered polite to carry 'flyers' with you to hand to people as they make their way to and from work.

Make to wear your Russ Abbot style ginger wig and Tam o Shanter so you don't stand out amongst the locals.

Quote from: VillaTim on August 23, 2023, 02:31:45 PMBeen watching travelling fans days unfold on twitter as they journey up to Edinburgh. Some of them have been on the ale literally since the crack of dawn. I just don't get it . They'll barely remember the game . Might aswell just go down the local pub and get bladdered and cut out all the travel costs Maybe they want to blend in with the locals?

I have heard they can be brash and aggressive after taking a sip of their bottled water?They are a simple ,humble people. They like to be referred to as Scotch, rather than Scottish or Scots. You shouldn't mention the name of the country, simply call it North Britain at all times. They love the Royal Family so you should give them the opportunity to pay tribute to the king. They refrain from all types of conflict, but love to hear visitors attempting to recreate their accents, even if you have no flair for mimicry. They appreciate the effort. Margaret Thatcher remains a folk hero, a kind of 'mother of the nation' so do bear that in mind during all exchanges and you'll all have a great time!
TA.Those of you with Scottish ancestry how do I approach the locals to stay safe? I have heard they can be brash and aggressive after taking a sip of their bottled water?
