But I don't.
Being Scottish has both advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side, we can drink our own body weight in alcohol. On the down side, we have a life expectancy of 55.
A key disadvantage is our intolerance to heat. Above a certain temperature we have the tendency to burst into flames, inconveniencing those around us and the local fire brigade. The last few days have been inexplicably hot and Scots all over London and the South East have been suffering. Forget dying African children covered in flies or irreverent Chinese artists needlessly imprisoned; charity begins at home. Think of the plight of Scots in southern England.
There is hope. ScotsCare is a charity for Scots in London. If you know a Scot struggling with life in the capital, don't turn your head away in disgust, don't spit on the face of the poor, pale-skinned copper haired alcoholic. Give them hope. Give them help. Give them ScotsCare.
