LOL well spotted!

Don't worry it's the roll of the Scots to point these things out.

It's also our job to stand up and shout everytime the 1966 World Cup is mentioned on the telly. I think it's currently being used on 3 adverts; the hovis ad where the kid runs through time, the one where Jack Charltan scores a goal as he walks past some kids and another one I can't remember.

Yup, it's not a pretty job, but it needs to be done.

You know your Ausse when you talk through your nose
