Scottish is (controversially to some, sure) a subset of British. It reads like the author and editor are unaware of that.

“the record they set is an incredible 225 skips per second.”

It was a running joke about Andy Murray too, who finally became 100% British when he won Wimbledon (see https://twitter.com/theamo). And FYI it’s Scot, not Scott.

“this is already the third pubic chastisement we’ve seen this year.”

So common since Hingle McCringleberry joined the league.
