SCOTLAND EXISTS, YOU KNOW!

I'm getting so fed up. They are coming at me from all angles today.
First, I turn on my computer and am blasted by ads of where to go for a nice family holiday if I haven't been on one yet this summer - Newsflash - Scottish kids go back to school 3 weeks before English ones - we're all done with our 2008 family summer holidays up here, ok?
Then I open my email and I have Back to school sale ads - where to buy my kids uniforms, books and shoes - Newsflash - Scottish kids go back to school 3 weeks before English ones - we're all done with buying school uniforms - your sales are 3 weeks too late for us, thank you very much.
To escape it all I turn on the radio just in time to hear Steve Wright tell me - yeah it's Wednesday, not Tuesday, you're confused aren't you because it's a short week...huh??? What??? Oh, of course there was a Bank Holiday in England this Monday - guess what? We didn't get it up here. My kids went to school on Monday, my man went to work - so gonna shut with all your anglocentric nonsense before I scream, ok?????
I'm away to Gretna with a big spade to dig a trench...
