Perhaps you could explain why E-clear, a company based in Berkeley Square,
Mayfair, London, was hanging on to �20M of Flyglobespan cash for which
flights had already been taken as well as some �14M more?

I would wager that the word �ソスcanny�ソス is a term that the Scots would


prefer not to talk about at the moment.

Do you actually know what the word means?

However their business errors
go back centuries.

So does every country in the World. So what?

I show just three below. To paraphrase Dr Samuel

Johnson: �ソスThe noblest prospect which a Scotsman ever sees, is the high
road that leads him to the Bank of England�ソス.

Is that because it was a Scotsman who started the Bank of England?

1. Darien: The Scottish Dream of Empire which collapsed in the early

1700�ソスs.. The English had to pay their bills and feed their population.

Rather a distortion of history on your part, but what else would we expect
from youi.

In the first place the Darian episode was used by the English to drive the
Scots into bankruptcy. As Monarch of both Scotland and England the Monarch
had an equal duty to both the English and Scots subjects.

The first act of treachery was that the English, (with Dutch assistance),
pledged to finance 50% of the expeditions funding.
They waited until the ships were purchased and the crews engaged and then
pulled out of the contract they had made. This left the whole enterprise
underfunded but which the Scots could not now pull out from.

Then the monarch instructed the King's navy not to aid the Scots expedition
but the king was also the king of Scotland.
The Kings Soldiers were also instructed not to aid the expedition even
although the army was in the area.

How typical of English back stabbing this whole episode was.

2. Royal Bank of Scotland which came very near to collapse under the
management of the Scottish banker known as Fred The Shred just last
year.

Strange then that you cannot remember the first banking trouble in the UK
was Northern Rock and that was bailed out with UK taxpayers money.
How come the English financial organisations got bailed out by the UK
taxpayer but the Scottish organisations had to be taken over by English
ones?

Sir Fred Goodwin's meteoric rise to head RBS came to a shuddering halt
after he gambled away his companies assets.

3. Now we have this FlyGlobalspan fiasco where again England will have
to help the stranded passengers to return home to Scotland.

Didn't you kinow that this company folded due to being let down by , you
guessed it, an English company, (E-Clear), who owed them �ソス34 million with
�ソス20 Million of that for passengers who had already flown. Not only that but
you seem to have missed the little fact that Hertford based Libra Holidays,
Argo Holidays and Jetlife also went into administration this week.

All of which shows you are ignorant of the facts, both historic and current,
and your sole agenda of posting your lies, half-truths and not posting
ommission involving the English.
This is an obvious bigoted attack and could probably have you reported for
racist abuse.

As a troll you are a complete failure. As we say in Scotland, Awa an bile

Nope. Patterson was merely one of a number of the projectors (Bank
est5ablished 1694) and was soon sent skulking back to Scotchland where
he presided over the Darien fiasco (begun 1696) . RH

ROTFL! The Scotch expected the English not only to underwrite the
scheme but to put English lives and treasure at risk by providing the
military support for an adventure by a foreign country and ancestral

It was underfunded because the treasurer ran off with much of the money.

Burchfield [1] has some interesting things to say on this topic:

Scotch. Scots, Scottish. It is not pos-
sible to set down here all the complica-
tions of this somewhat sensitive group
of words. The adjective Scotch, in origin
a contracted variant of Scottish, 'had been
adopted into the northern vernacular
before the end of the 18th c.; it [was] used
regularly by Burns, and subsequently by
Scott' (OED). But 'since the mid-19th c.
there has been in Scotland a growing
tendency to discard the form altogether,
Scottish, or less frequently Scots, being
substituted' (OED). Scots is also a long-
standing variant of Scottish. The outcome
is that all three adjectives are still cur-
rent, but Scotch is the least frequent and
survives mainly in certain collocations,
e.g. Scotch broth, Scotch egg, Scotch mist,
Scotch terrier, Scotch tweed, Scotch whisky,
and a few others. Scots is the term regu-
larly used of the form of English spoken
in (esp. Lowlands) Scotland. It also occurs
in the names of certain Scottish regi-
ments. But the all-embracing general ad-
jective meaning 'of or relating to
Scotland, its history, its day-to-day life,
or its inhabitants', is Scottish. These are
middle-class preferences. 'Paradoxically,'
A.J. Aitken reports in OCELang. (1992),'for
working class Scots the common form
has long been Scotch ... and the native
form Scots is sometimes regarded as an
Anglicized affectation.' Outside Scot-
land, and esp. outside the UK, Scottish
preferences are less well-known. Scotch is
likely to occur, both as adj. and noun, in
contexts which middle-class Scots would
regard as either droll or improper.

Och! He is just upset because he thought he was being so clever, only to
find out he was very stupid.
After all his original little dig at the Globespan fell flat on its face as
the English firm, "E-Clear", were the reason that Globespan had to go bust.
The English E-Clear owed Globespan �34 billion. Not only that but E-Clear's
boss has led a consortium that wanted to buy a share of Globespan so it is
quite obvious what the score is. Then his little jolly jape also came a
cropper as several English travel firms went bust yesterday too. Libra
Holidays, Argo Holidays, Jetlife and the Allbury Group all went to the wall.
Elias Elia, down there in England, seems to have brought several companies
to their knees.

Now the numptie, Jon, is throwing a hissy fit because he made himself look

Robert, what has this got to do with anything? It does nothing to
prove your point.

Are you just trolling again - and bringing the English into disreoute
once more?

GMcThe idiot keeps trotting this out at irregular intervals.
The laughable thing about it is that he has failed to read it properly and
the quote actually proves him wrong.
Even worst than that, I have pointed his error out to him on several
occasions and the bugger is so thick he thinks I am wrong.

However, if you read the starred part, above, you will see Burchfield has
said that, "Scottish", is the correct term.
He then states that these are middle class preferences and then there is a
full stop. The next sentence begins, "'Paradoxically,'


A.J. Aitken reports in OCELang. (1992),'for
working class Scots the common form
has long been Scotch.

So Burchfield is saying that what A.J.Aitken claims is a paradox and what
A.J. Aitken claimed was, "'for


working class Scots the common form

has long been Scotch and the native


form Scots is sometimes regarded as an
Anglicized affectation.'

So Henderson not only fails to understand that Burchfield is saying that the
correct term is Scots or Scottish but Burchfield is also saying that what
A.J. Aitken said was a paradox.

So Henderson cannot read English and/or does not know what a paradox is.

I suggest you go and work in industry to acquaint yourself with what is
normal practice. No company pays over money until they have to. RH

Because the guy who heads the English company holding on to the funds heads
a consortium who were attempting to buy shares in the Scottish company. By
not paying the cash they thus hoped to force the share price down to get a
bargain.

What are you on about now?

I really didn't try to tie anything. You made some comment about
education - I asked how long it took you to realise it was a typing
error and you start going on about tying!

You really are quite a buffoon aren't you? You are a complete
embarrassment to the honest people of London.

Why not stick to harassing your local council rather than embellishing
these newsgroups with your feeble intellect, crass comments, ill
thought out arguments and frequent deviations into your fantasy world
of doctors and nurses?

You are completely and utterly wrong with your comment (yet again). I
have many years experience in the private sector and your earlier
statement that "no company pays over money until they have to" is a
load of rubbish. There are many reasons that a Company may delay
payment but to state that no Company pays until the have to is just
absurd. Was that your experience in the tax office that led you to
this conclusion then?

Normal practice anywhere. Of course, Scotchland has very little
commercial activity, the vast majority of the Scotch GDP being comprised
of English subsidy funded public employment... RH

OK. I worked for them for years - they had a policy of paying in
