People are from all over.
Londoners, Geordies, Germans, Ukrainians, Americans, Canadians, Finns, Frenchies, Aussies and South Africans, Chileans and Kazakhs – They all come to the quiz on a regular basis.
Remember to be NICE to foreigners. You’re representing Edinburgh. You’re representing Scotland.
Not that I need to say this. You lot are pretty nice.
But occasionally, very occasionally, someone gets booed at a quiz, just for being English or American.
Imagine how crappy that would feel.
Imagine you went somewhere on holiday and you went into a pub and you took part in a quiz and then you got booed for being Scottish. Yuk. Nasty.
For sure, the people doing the booing would always say “Oh – it’s not serious – just banter”. OK -but how are you supposed to know that if you’re the one getting booed? how do you know it’s not a precursor to something even more hostile?
As Scottish people, we love to tell ourselves how hospitable we are. Wouldn’t it be nice if we all lived up to it?
