Just to be picky...Scots ARE Brits, officially (though this depends if you're a Scot Nationalist or not...and they aren't all, by any means). The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland encompasses: Wales, Scotland, England and NI, plus some random little Islands. As I say, it's a pedantic point but I do get concerned at the number of Americans and others who do not grasp it! Saying Scots AND Brits is a bit like saying 'Texans and Americans'

Hey pardner, if they SOUND different, they ARE different. Most Texans would be glad to know others heard the difference, and given the political state of things in oil soggy America, most Americans would appreciate it too. I guess I based my comment on what I heard other climbers speaking didn't I?

Ok, I'm going off to hear Lyle Lovett and then some Irish bagpipes...

I'm glad you caught my sense of humor, reading it later, I realized I sounded quite rude, when it was all in fun... By the way, the Scottish Brits I did overhear while climbing there were climbing some sick\hard routes. Way to go!
