    Returned to York from Dumfries region last night, and walked in to my local for my stay.

    Immediate (friendly) comments:
    Hey, we're in England - not Scotland! Kilts are for North of the border!!

    My response:
    Be it so. If you change the name of this pub from Tam O'Shanter (yes, that's the name of the pub... hehe) to John Bull, I'll go find my trousers.

    General response:
    Good one, you got us there.

    Landlady:
    First drink compliments of tam O'Shanter

    Gentleman at bar:
    Second drink on me. I'm Scottish, and you make me proud.

    What a classic name for a pub south of the border!

    I'd say you had them over a barrel there!
