The whole "Scotch Girl" thing...

So back in 2000 I went to the States. It was a great trip and I went with my awesome pal Becks. One of our stops was Las Vegas and while we were there we checked out a show that was playing in the casino Circus Circus, which was where we were staying. We had to find our way to the venue and so enquired at the information desk...the conversation went like this:

AB (me) - "Hey how are you? I'm looking for the comedy show that's on tonight..."

Lady - "Oh my God! A Scotch girl!"

AB - "Uh sorry?"

Lady - "You're a Scotch girl!"

AB - "Ummm, no actually, I'm Australian."

Lady - "Honey, I know a Scotch person when I hear one....Ken! Ken! Come listen to the Scotch girl!""

Obviously, she didn't know a Scotch person when she heard one...I imagine she also didn't know a Scottish person when she heard one.

And that is the Scotch Girl thing.
