The Auld Grey Toon, The Home of Golf and of the Old Course, the world&#8217;s greatest golf course, St. Andrews University, the Royal and Ancient Golf Club, the St. Andrews Golf Club, and a town which played an important role in the Scottish Protestant Reformation?<\/p>\n<p>All right, for 1,000 points and a place in the bonus round, in what country is St. Andrews, Scotland located? If you answered, &#8220;England!&#8221; you&#8217;re wrong, unless you work for Facebook. While the correct answer is, in fact, Scotland, Facebook doesn&#8217;t think so. Look to the right of the attached screenshot to see for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>This has proven\u2014understandably\u2014to be a source of irritation for some residents and fans of St. Andrews so much so that a Facebook page was founded to correct the problem: This St Andrews is in Scotland. So far it has 871 likes but no response from Facebook after repeated attempts to have the grievous error rectified.<\/p>\n<p>All you Facebookers out there, click the &#8220;Like&#8221; button and help the cause. Make sure St. Andrews, Scotland is returned to Scotland.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You&#8217;ve heard of St. Andrews, Scotland?
