    Sorry, Sassenachs. This is just fact.

    1. Irn Bru everywhere. On draught. In McDonald's. In the corner shop. Bru!

    2. You can keep Blackpool Pier, we've got the actual Northern Lights.

    3. And we've got a magic road.

    4. Scotland has proper snow, every winter.

    5. Yeah, we get real weather.

    6. You have the option of chippy sauce on your fish supper.

    7. And being able to follow it up with one of these.

    8. We created a sausage that fits into a sandwich perfectly.

    9. Soor Plooms sort the men from the boys.

    13. And we know exactly how to keep a feud going. No rivalry runs deeper than that of the Old Firm.

    29. Oh go on then.

    30. You can keep your sarcasm, England.

    31. Our newspaper headlines are legendary.
