Fluttereyes' 'Scottish' Collection Is As Authentic As Tartan Paint!
Okay, have put up with Fluttereyes steaming pools of utter nonsense about Scotland and 'Scottishness' before (most of which were about as authentic as the Loch Ness Monster) - as past Mare's Nest readers know, she's always been more full of shit than a baby's nappy - but this really is the limit.
As if her 'we dunked for bits of bread covered with treacle at Halloween because we were too poor when I was a kid to buy scones' wasn't Disney fodder enough.
Okay, blawbag, which of these creatures are no longer native to Scotland, huh?
The Long tail tit? Common as shit - especially in Scotland due to the number of old graveyards covered in the lichens which are the environments for the insects they feed their young specifically with?
The Chaffinch? One of the most widespread and abundant bird in Britian and Ireland (source: RSPB website)
Hares, foxes, stoats, deer, barn owls, snipes, wrens etc ... all common as muck. Wolves were killed off four centuries ago - you may as well have included dodos for all the relevance they are.
The Arctic Fox? Last appeared in Scotland in the wild in THE ICE AGE!
Bloody knock it off with your bullshit Molly Weir tartan and f**king shortbread routines about Scotland - those of us with Scottish relatives are sick to death of your exaggerations about the place for the benefit of morons who get all their ideas about Scotland from Hollywood's 'haggis and heather' horseshit or the Scottish Tourist Industry which is stuck in a Sir Walter Scott timewarp.
(Ironic considering they refused to look after his home Abbotsford and it had to be cared for by an army of independent volunteers who, until the Scottish tourist industry, manage to make annual profits ...).
