    I've started using beeling as well! I did actually use the word "boaby" the other week and started to get very worried indeed. I think it's a Government conspiracy to make everyone in the UK more Scottish so that they deicde they don't actually need to have indpendence

    Bespoke is spot on.

    The lazy Scotchies on here are ruining our proud English language.

    Always liked Absolutely, Rab C Nesbitt, Chewin the Fat, Still Game etc so drifting into the odd Scottyism has never been a problem.

    Also enjoyed the Glaswegian Dolmio adverts on YouTube, "when was the last time you had your hole"

    Hope you feel suitably patronized now you haggis munching, tartan shortcake tin, Buckfast pissy pants.
