It's an easy mistake……
At the bar the other night, I overheard three very hefty women talking. Their accent appeared to be Scottish, so I approached and asked: "Hello, are you three bonny lassies from Scotland?" One of them screeched: "It's Wales, Wales, you idiot!" So I apologised and replied: "I am so sorry. Are you three whales from Scotland?" And that's the last thing I remember.
