Ten minutes later I was deep in conversation with one of my patients. He knew that I had moved from Scotland also.
'So, when Scottish men go to work, do they all have to wear a kilt? Even bricklayers and plumbers?'

Mmmmm plumbers in kilts.
I don't believe it! Have however just repeated both of these incidents to a Scottish collegue who lived in Oz for about 8 years. She totally understands.
Apparently for an awful lot of Aussies she met 'UK' meant England only; often even London only.
Oh god but if more blokes went round in kilts, wouldn't that be so fab! Think of the fun you could have....
I wish they did go round wearing nothing but kilts!! x
why does this not surprise me???? i know we are not well known for much apart from kilts! but we have electricity, hot and cold running water, indoor plumbing, the kids wear shoes and are educated, people drive, work and we even have our own parliament!!!
Don't fib Shazza.
I hope you said yes Nat.
Even I can pull in a kilt!
Jay and Moo. I can only agree....
H, believe it. She was at a total loss when I explained about Wales and Northern Ireland too!
Shaz, people still don't recognise that my accent is english. I'm still the Scottish nurse!
Re: shoes. The kids over here don't wear shoes. Grown up people walk around the supermarket in bare feet.
Spunkster, Of course I told her the truth. Just so I could put on my 'worldy, superior face' anyway!
...would love to see you in a kilt!
Oh Nat, please don't tell Mike about the shoe thing! He'd use it as an excuse to do it even more.
Last summer he got chucked out of Tesco's for having no shoes because of "Health and Safety". And while in M&S, mothers were dragging their kids away from him like he was some kind of dangerous shoe-less molester.
T'was most horribly embarrassing. Not that he cared one jot!
honest spunky we even eat with forks and knives!!!!
Shazza is that forks and knives or knives and forks?!!
Name the date and I'll buy the kilt!
I'm happily working from home today.
Hurrah!
So is anyone going to discover and comment on my lovely technological piccy slide show at the bottom of my site then?
...and tell me how much of a genius I am in creating it?
My Girl is a genius !!!!!
Love you xxxxxxxxx
Ma, I love you too.
One of my patients asked me if i was close to you, this morning. when I said 'absolutely, I'm moving her over here when I can't stand it any longer', she hrumphed and turned away from me!
Apparently her daughter doesn't love her quite as much as I love you!!
Serves her right though. She's very bossy and demanding and nasty at times.
Am so glad you're me ma! xxxxxxxxxxx
have discovered it!! its fab except there are pics of me in it!!!
Which one is you Shazza?
I fortunately (follow the recent debacle) am absent.
i am the little dark haired ugly one!! the one in the middle with the lemon in my mouth! the one in the middle with my fingers up and the one on next to nat with the dark hair!!! i hate getting my pic taken and always make a face! dont think nat has a decent photo of me!!!

That isn't possible anyhoo. All Nat's friends are beautfiul. Well excpet me, I got a pass from Nat's mum to be moderately attractive.
Spunky....AAAAHHHHHHHH, I forgot the shots of your bottom.
Drat and it is the favourite pic of you, for me!
That thing bloody took me hours as well!
Arse...will amend it, I promise!
Shaz...do you really think I would have an ugly friend? It wouldn't help my 'man flirting' project any now, would it!
