I'm horrified to see that this is an English company. Yet another Scottish ruthlessly exploited by

I'm reminded of a previous World Cup where England were in the same group as Trinidad and Tobago.
Sales figures for T&T merchandise in Scotland were greater than anywhere else, including Trinidad &
Tobego.

Indeed. Only five minutes later, you agreed with that quite effusively in
another reply.

Umm, I strongly suspect there's at least as many people living south of
my eponymous wall as north who'd agree with the statement.
