Al Dente Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 My understanding is that the newspaper schtick is Brish and that the Irish in Dublin use brown paper bags. That is my experience. Interestingly, the Scottish use a bull's scrotum. 25% Scot, Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smaller and less self-confident Anglo-Saxon nations do tend to slavishly adhere to the more daft traditions of Mother England, don't they?
