The average Englishman in his home he calls his castle,slips into his national costume a -shabby raincoat- patented by Charles Macintosh from Glasgow Scotland. En route to his office he strides along the English country lane,surfaced by John Macadam Ayr,Scotland. He drives a car fitted with tyres invented by John Boyd Dunlop, Dreghorn Scotland.At the office he receives the mail bearing adhesive stamps invented by John Chambers of Dundee Scotland. During the day he uses the telephone invented by Alexander Graham Bell,from Edinburgh Scotland.At home in the evening his daughter pedals her bicycle invented by Kirkpatrick Macmillan from Dumfrieshire, Scotland.He watches the news on TV invented by John Logie Baird from Helensburgh,Scotland and hears an item about the US navy founded by John Paul Jones from Kirkbean,Scotland. Nowhere can an englishman turn to escape the ingenuity of the scots. He has now been reminded too much of Scotland and in desperation he picks up the holy Bible*only to find that the first man mentioned in the good book is a scot,King James the VI who authorised its translation. He could turn to drink but the Scots make the best in the world,He could take a rifle and end it all but the rifle was invented by Captain Patrick Ferguson from Pitfours Scotland, if he escapes death,he could find himself on the operating table injected with penicillin,discovered by Sir Alexander Fleming of Darvel Scotland and given Chloroform, an anaesthetic discovered by Sir James Young Simpson from Bathgate Scotland. Out of the anaesthetic he would find no comfort in learning that he was as safe as the bank of England founded by William Paterson from Dumfries,Scotland. Perhaps his only remaining hope would be to get a transfusion of guid Scottish blood which would entitle him to say,, WHAS LIKE US! Just some of the contributions Scotland has made to the world. The prospect of letting a country that invented most of the modern world including the internet you are using now, go its own way must indeed be truly terrifying for those that oppose us.
