Young Scottish singer Lewis Capaldi won two awards at the Brits recently. He was criticised for collecting his award holding a bottle of Buckfast. There is a perception in sections of England that many Scots are a bunch of drunken wasters and of course this is perpetuated by the gutter press "journalists".
I am sure that young Lewis did this as a joke to poke fun at this perception but this stupid woman didn't get the joke and had a go at the guy.
He has certainly gone up in my estimation. In addition to being a talented singer songwriter he has a great sense of humour.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Silly woman...too many people too ready to take to social media with their ill-conceived opinions! Self-deprecation and tongue in cheek mockery of ourselves is the norm in Scottish humour! Witness Billy Connolly, Kevin Bridges etc.

Satire can easily be misunderstood. It is, after all, an exaggeration of perceptions.

The Scots have a very self deprecating sense of humour,
@Marionville I know. Quite a few have invaded Mojacar.
@Petter Lucky you!
