Aldi... you've crossed a line...
The shopping giant nipped on to Twitter on Tuesday to brazenly claim they've invented, of all things, the square sausage.
Breakfast just became a whole lot easier… Will you be trying our Sausedge? https://t.co/pPueOU3TAz

Naturally, Scottish Twitter wasn't having any of it.
This is appropriation. 🏴 https://t.co/wj1MmMT4AG

Sorry, @AldiUK, but I'm American and even I know the Scots have been doing this for forever.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
