Where did Dozy's thread go? I was going to ask him what we should do about all the pesky colonists who have arrived on our Orkney and Shetland shores since 1468, bringing their alien ways with them - The surnames starting with Mac and Mc, the trend for men getting married in checked skirts, whilst another guy in a checked skirt performs a lewd act on an octopus, their attempts to get us to help them seek independence for their motherland, their attempts to displace our native language, "Old Norn", with something called "Scots" which seems to just be English spoken in a Glaswegian accent.

We have been well and truly colonised here by what I would guess Dozy would call "colonists masquerading as seperatists"

Was Dozy embarrassed with the direction the thread was going, and deleted it to save face?
