Isn’t this something to do with clans only have oatcakes to eat or something while travelling.
Land of cakes? Well that’s shite. And I’ve never heard of that before
That sub is usually full of inaccurate shite anyway
“Land of cakes” sounds like that, utter shite
Warsaw got a bum deal. It’s not _that_ bad.
Craiglang – Shitehole
For some reason, the thing I hate most about this is the fact that none of it is in alphabetical order.
Land of cakes? My erse it’s the land of cakes.
Seems surprisingly mild and disappointingly inoffensive.
Land of kilts, bagpipes, tartan or even “men in skirts” would at least be more recognisable.
I’m from Vancouver and they got vancouver and canada wrong so don’t have much faith in the list
Is this a mistranslation of “Land of puddings”?
Black puddin’, white puddin’, fruit puddin’… that lad down the street’s a right puddin’…
Better get those squats in to live up to the name I guess
Well, that was an interesting 5 minutes on Google!!
In the opening verse of Robert Burn’s poem ‘On the Late Captain Grose’s Peregrinations’ you can hear the line ‘Hear, Land of Cakes and Brother Scot’s, from Maidenkirk to Johnnie Groats.
Pakistan military academy course and something similar in India top hits??
Tel Aviv – the city that never stops. Never stops bombing Arab kids! Hayoooo!! Hahah-h-hey, wait. Why are you arresting me?
Land O’ the purple heather, I thought.
I wouldn’t trust this list too much. Some are correct to my knowledge, but The Big Smoke is London, England, not Vancouver, Canada
Never heard of Scotland being called this in my life though!
Australia is The Lucky Country. ‘land down under’ is from a song.
Warsaw was going through the character creator too fast and forgot to update their nickname!
Can’t take any list of world places seriously when it includes Seattle and Dallas.
What, you mean we could have been the Land of Cakes **all this time**???
Barcelona: The city of counts has to be mistranslation.
The Count **Ramón Berenguer** was the governor of Barcelona and therefore the city was nickname the Count’s city or the County city. But not city of counts WTF.
Edinburgh is also called “The Athene of the north” or “The Reykjavik of the south” but I can’t find these names on that list.
Where’s Aberdeen and “The Granite City”?
I prefer the one we got in the Irn-Bru advert; **Land of Liquid Optimism**
Aw cmon now. The people of Barcelona aren’t THAT bad.
Edit – sorry misread
wasn’t Paris The City of Light (la ville lumière)?
Barcelona’s nickname could so easily be mispronounced 😂
Moscow is the white house? Maybe while Trump is president.
I have never once heard Toronto referred to as “Queen City”, that’s a new one.
Land of Prophets, PALESTINE!!! whoops Israel, looks like they are a Country according to this guide… Philistine, Palestine; what’s the difference… amiright?!
your downvotes fuel me!
I read Barcelona “The city of cunts” 😂

I’d like to live between Scotland and Finland… in the Land of a Thousand Cakes
