Hmmmm, irony overload in this thread title for me.

I've never (knowingly at least) met a Scot who doesn't mind being called a Sweatie, and in fact, a good few I know would clump anyone who used the term.....

My (non blood) Uncle was a weegie. He'd stand up if he heard the pipes and he'd often get teary eyed when listening to them. My Nan used to call them wailing spiders! :lol: She absolutely hated the things unless they were playing Amazing Grace then she thought they were beautiful! :?

When the pipes are no longer effective the west highland midge does the business! Cheers and, oh, welcome to Scotland
