Fact: Scottish people do not experience fear.
GLORIOUS and also totally unsurprising, really. Partly because of Scotland, and partly because of old farmers.

Reported time bomb after saving ‘neeps’
HERE is the story of George Donald, a North-East of Scotland farmer, and a Nazi bomb.
The bomb fell in the middle of one of George’s turnip fields, buried itself many feet in the ground, and failed to explode.
Some days later George reported its presence to the authorities, who immediately sent a disposal squad out to the farm.
Why hadn’t it bene reported sooner, they wanted to know.
“Well,” said George, “I kent fine if I told you fellows you would have come and blown it up and ruined a’ my neeps.”
It was then that the disposal experts noticed that the whole area round the bomb hole had been cleared of turnips.
“I could hardly ask onybody else tae dae the job, so I just took my time and cleared away the neeps masel’. Now you can go ahead an’ blow the dam’ thing up.”
The explosion that followed shook a nearby town – but George’s “neeps” were safe.
