"Welcome to Scotland"

Scotland has replaced its airport signs proclaiming the country to be "the best small country in the world" with a new slogan: "Welcome to Scotland."The new slogan, which was revealed Tuesday after six months of development and $250,000 spent on the project, is also printed on the posters in Gaelic as "Failte gu Alba," The Times of London reported Wednesday.

"Welcome to Scotland, ya foreign cunts!"

To be fair.. the people that decided it do what every Scot does.. they spent the budget on getting hammered and left it to the last minute..

money well spent tbh..

Wouldn't a part of that 250 000 grand go to replacing the signs? Or was it all spent on 'developing' the idea?

They REALLY love to waste money dont they.

Better though than the slogan they had over at Preswick Airport. In Giant purple writing, it said "Pure Dead Brilliant"

what a fucking joke!

Na airport signs should read:
"Scotland..........kick a man who's burning to death and become a media superstar!!! Dreams can come true in Scotland."
Bit long, might not fit on the sign

Wow, maybe you Scottish cunts should drink less. Ffs. The way I see it there are two possible reasons that happened.

1) Most of the money went do the pub's tab.

2) Or... They were in a drunk stupor for the whole time they were coming up with that slogan.

Actually, now I sit back, the two reasons can be tied together.

Wow Raiden, you still have a talent with threads and buttsecks.

Can't you at least aim for a derail involving Bruce Lee?

Hmmm, most of the places I know have signs like this, anyway, maybe it took them too long to realize that simpler = better?
