    It depends, I wouldn't have a good Scottish roll with a curry... But maybe a bacon roll.

    I'm a Hovis fan myself, but I usually only avoid anything wrapped in tartan.

    On that note, I make a point of buying fresh Scottish produce. With Scottish pounds Sterling. Or even if I'm using an English note(which isn't a problem up here) I am still happy to see Adam Smith on it.

    I'm sure you are, it is just one of many representations of the strangle hold. Anyway, aren't you rooting for the euro? If you ask nicely, they might print some with Adam Smith, or maybe even Mel Gibson.

    Stranglehold? No, supporting Scottish farmers more like.

    Personally, I'm in support for the pound and opting for a referendum on the Euro after Scottish independence.

    Adam Smith founded the Bank of England. Mel Gibson played Wallace in Braveheart.
    I'd be happy using money printed with William Wallace, to compliment Robert the Bruce's notes.

    He must of been very young. It was founded about 30 years before he was born.

    Those Scottish Kings could never make their minds up. In, out, shake it all about. I say we should just stick a goat on our banknotes and call it the first settlers.

    I voted..

    'I buy both traditional British bread and other types of bread'

    I buy different breads for different things. I like Hovis and other brown breads with bits in (can't remember the names) for sandwiches also Ciabatta and French breads if I fancy a bit more crunch. Good old crusty white is good for cheese on toasted doorsteps and a big chunk of crusty brown to accompany soups in winter. Soda bread and good French breads don't need any fillings, just butter, lots of lovely, yummy yummy butter. Mmmm.

    Basically, I love all different types of breads, and butter, cream cheese, garlic, chives and more garlic and sunblush tomatoes in oil and garlic and bread dipped in rosemary oil and.... well I love it all, I love food and I love life!

    I'm quite a fan of Tiger bread, although i'm not sure of its origins.
