Sorry if I'm being a bit thick, ID- had a trying day what with redundancies and restructuring goings on - but, um, you lost me there?
[thinks]Is this some kind of snide reference to Sassenachs......[/thinks]

Sassenach are Saxons right ? From Sachsen, Germany ?

Um, no, not quite .... Most Scots think anyone born South of them, is a Sassenach. I'd guess the word means Southerner? My Dad's from Perth (Scotland, not bloody WA) and so he always called my late Mum a Sassenach. She was a Glaswegian!

I meant the word itself.
I thought it was derived from Saxon and was then generally used for those south of Scotland (effectively the English, who are Saxons I believe).
Saxony or Sachsen is a region in Germany AFAIK.
Am I so wrong here ?

Time to dig out the carrot poison, I reckon.
Sassenach does indeed mean "Saxon" (as does "Sais" in Welsh). It's usually taken to mean "lowlander", rather than "English", as so many Scottish lowlanders originated from England. Jim - did your Mum call your Dad a chuchter?
Queen Liz (Gawd bless 'er) is Elizabeth II for England and Wales, but Elizabeth I for the other areas of her dominion.

Well, "chucht" is Scots for "gutter"...
