Big Asda in Govan, chances of it having Irish cheese with Tricolours on the package is high.

Didn't notice any uproar in the dairy aisle last time I was there.

Never had a pint of Guinness in Larkhall but I've had one in Bridgeton and they didn't have to cover up the Irish harp sign for fear of causing offence.

In short - Peever is havering.

I just showed my wife this thread and some of the other really really stupid threads of late and she just shook her head and said asked how can I be bothered reading what these people say, she thought mumsnet what full of nutters.

I mean honestly as someone who can really explain from an industry perspective why the saltire and Union Jack has increasingly appeared..but genuinely think logic would be wasted on this thread, I just shake my head and feel sorry for you. But I will have chuckle at at those saltire only buyers as I could give you numerous examples of how that proud Scottish product is as Scottish as Mel Gibson......

It's not the thing you fling, it's the fling itself.

Could you imagine the uproar if this flag was plastered all over produce in supermarkets in Govan or Larkhall.


Is that a Bar Code
Freedom is in your mind, to lose that thought is to lose your freedom. Whatever does not destroy me, makes me stronger.
