    Scottish temperature record for March - English blamed

    BBC News - Spring sunshine sets Scottish temperature record for March

    "Fyvie Castle, in Aberdeenshire, recorded a temperature of 2.8C shortly after 15:30, edging past the previous high of 2.2C."

    "This had been set in March 1957 at Gordon Castle, in Moray, and again at Strachan, in Kincardineshire, in 1965."

    "23 year old Donald McHaggis's reaction was typical. "This global warming is all the fault of the English. Once we declare war on the saccenachs we will stop being a miserable bunch of gits". He then broke off briefly from eating a deep fried mars bar and drinking whisky to enable the nurse to adjust his heart monitors in preparation for his quadruple bypass."

    IF you want a fight about this I will see you on the M8, not giving you my house number or anything.

        If facebook statuses represent the general view, my Scottish friends and relatives aren't complaining.

          2.8C?! Being a Scot, won't you get heatstroke if you start trying to fight in that weather?
          Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ here

            Extrapolation is dangerous. Imagine you are not pregnant one day and pregnant the next. After 365 days you will be carrying 365 babies.

            A friend went to Scotland recently and someone overheard his accent in a pub. A bloke came over to tell him how much he hated the English, and how he is a teacher and teaches all his kids to hate the English too! Straight up.

              They would be too drunk to notice.

              BTW did you hear about the Scot who came down to Euston and lost all his luggage. The cork fell out of the bottle.

                Summer in Scotland can be fantastic, never that warm but you can get good light up till 11 and will only be dark for a couple of hours. Just a shame the place is a complete tulip hole filled with idiots who are plunged into darkness for months and months on end.

                But in the summer I tell yee..

                  M8? Don't be ridiculous. Everybody knows motorways only go up to 6.
                  Will work inside IR35. Or for food.
