- thebruce87m 1y agoNote to non-UK readers: Most of the time when someone says they are in the “North East of the UK” it’s not some Scotsman up in Shetland it is an English person who is currently in the North East of England. The North East of England is in the middle part of the UK mainland.
- lukan 1y agoSo .. they don't see scotland as part of the UK anyway? Why was it such an issue then that they wanted to leave? (And why were there bloody wars fought about it in the first place?)
- hdgvhicv 1y agoWho wanted to leave? What wars?
- kjs3 1y agoSomeone with a tiny little...um...axe to grind and not enough sense to take it someplace where people care. You can tell when they have to go back to Culloden to try and drag something up to wave around.
- lukan 1y agoScotland the UK? (They were allowed to vote in the end and voted to remain) And wars happened when scotland was forced to become part of the UK in medieval times. (Braveheart)
- hdgvhicv 1y agoSo Scotland didn’t want to leave. And Scotland didn’t unite with England until after the Scottish King took over he English throne hundreds of years after the time of William Wallace You might be confusing the U.K. with the USA where a pet of the country there wanted to leave and were refused and that did lead to war, and that happened far more recently than 700 years ago.
- permo-w 1y agoI think most people say "the North East" as a synecdoche for "the North East of England". the commenter being referred to likely just misspoke
- inopinatus 1y agoSimilarly, the part of your body commonly referred to as “the bottom” is in fact closer to half-way down and not at the bottom at all. I will leave any possible joke about being legless after a night out in Newcastle-upon-Tyne to the experts.

- lukan 1y ago"Most of the time when someone says they are in the “North East of the UK” it’s not some Scotsman up in Shetland it is an English person who is currently in the North East of England." So you think this is simply wrong? (Like this)
