Stale Frankfurters

In Frankfurt for world's biggest book fair. Enjoyed dog end of evening playing my sad old game on nice visiting Scots: 'Why you belong to England still?" Sort of stuff that would get you killed if said in English accent but if they think you're German, they give you high five for every time 'we' stuffed England in international football. Don't mention the war means nothing to Scots, except possibly Culloden, But they still by and large are scared of independence; 'We cannae do without England" (So you are like beggar who afraid to work?) Now now. But it's one hell of a way to make them think about it.
