Skottlands nationaldag - hur skotsk ar DU?

St Andrew's Day, ungefar lika firad i Skottland som 6 Juni i Sverige. Eller... mindre. I Stockholm bar atminstone bussarna flaggor. Pa jobbet cirkulerade i alla fall detta mail och vi hade enormt kul at det - och at att vardera varandra. Jag blev till slut titulerad Honorary Scot - trots att jag inte gillar friterad pizza...
