    Another reason not to visit Scotland

    A popular Scottish tourist attraction provoked outrage by banning English visitors and destroying 'English' items such as bone china and the works of Shakespeare.
    The Edinburgh Dungeon said the one-day event is in revenge for the Battle of Falkirk, fought 710 years ago July 21st, at which more than 2,000 Scots were slaughtered by the Auld Enemy.

    English visitors will only be allowed entry if they sign a scroll swearing allegiance to Scotland, while those from other countries will be encouraged to bring in items deemed 'typically English’ to be smashed.

    How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

    Troll has no sense of humour. Nor do readers of the Daily Telegraph.

    OK, maybe not news

      I read the Daily Telegraph.

      What do the major humorists read hereabouts?

      You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

        The Daily Mail is funny until you realise that they mean it, whereupon it makes you start to vomit.

              I bet Troll has a sense of humour. But alot of Scottish do not and take it v v seriously. I once worked with a lovely Scottish chap - until one evening someone mentioned Jackie Stuart! He launched into this tirade about Damon Hill is English - but Jackie Stuart in Britsh - not Scottish. He started foaming at the mouth!

              But all in all the Scottish are great.

                That's correct. I know loads of Scots who've got absolutely no sense of humour whatsoever. But I've never met an Englishman I couldn't laugh at ;-)
