If so, does he actually talk like the dad from So I Married An Axe Murderer, or was it just MBR being patronising as f*ck about Scottish people in this months MBR???
MBR in being c-cks shocker.
I've never heard Andy say gargantuan.
Calm down and wind your neck in.
Andy's a top bloke and he's plenty scottish (last time i checked anyway), so he's unlikely to be taking the p!ss about scots.
Just MBR being MBR i expect.
So he walks about talking like See You Jimmy?
or Fat Bast*rd from Austin Powers?
Neither, oddly enough!
Bob - what does the mag actually say ?
Sounded that way from the article in the magazine 🙁
In Next Month's MBR: A cockney calls everyone "Facking cahnts"
To quote David Starkey on Question Time last week.
"Once upon a time England was a great country. Remember we're distinguished by the fact that we don't have national dress.
"We don't make a great fuss about Shakespeare like the Scots do about that deeply boring provincial poet Burns."
He said England did not have national music "like the awful bagpipes".
"What the Scots and Welsh are, are typical small nations with a romantic 19th Century-style nationalism," he said.
You know, he might just be right!
I'm intrigued to know what Andy is alleged to have said that is so patronising? I may have to go out and find MBR (obviously not buy it being a post modern tight fisted jock as I am).
To be fair to Andy, he may look a bit like Heid from Axe Murderer but likening him to Charlie's Dad is perhaps going a little too far. He doesn't wear specs for a start! Ha! Ha!
Sanny 😆

Just a really patronising portrayal of a Scottish accent. "Och aye the noo" type stuff. No one else seemed to have their comments transcribed in a regional accent. Coupled with them slagging off his choice of food (egg and chips) on a trip abroad.
Its MBR. You'll hear worse stereotyping in the Sun.
I don't subscribe to The Sun though 🙁
(only subscribed for the free jacket)
In the words of Charlie's mum in "So I married an Axe murderer", "Have you got a pickle up your arse?" 😀
Worry less, ride more.
Sanny
I ride plenty mate. 🙄
And I thought all Scots couldn't help typing in a regional accent 😉
Leave Andy alone, it's bad enough that he's got 'photographers squint'
🙂
Still, at least he's not ginger, eh?
Bob is it in the May issue if so whereabouts?
Hoots mon! Ah dinnae ken whit yer blabberin oan aboot there, luvwookie!
I wonder whether anti ginger sentiment is the only acceptable racism that is left? Let's face it, you just wish you had fanta pants! 😆
As for the squint,I always thought that the cause of that earned you a clip around the ear from your mum for being a grubby little urchin!
