To you, maybe; and to one or two on here, but then...
though I fail to see why you post such things: hardly intellectual food for thought!

There is great wisdom to be had in the vernacular of the greatest city in the known Universe (and beyond) - get yourself up here next year (post Christmas of course) and the wise men sitting in Babbity's will provide a line-by-line translation of the profound philosophy posted by NS: you up for it?

Course. Always ready to learn, and I love Scotland: not so keen on carrots.

Glasgow isn't Scotland.

Your use of English implied that, given a thread mentioning Glasgow, could be addressed by a statement about Scotland, that they are equivalent.

NS - just posted to this on FB - but to repeat (and I'm sure BA will back me up) they are not all exclusive to Glasgow "Thank you Driver" is used all the time here - as s the brass neck phrase - in fact I had thought the bus one was local to Nottingham - as it is not used up the road in Mansfield where I'm from originally - so I thought it was a peculiarly Nottingham thing.

In fairness your derided because of the content of your posts (which is usually nothing) and the way you come across, you know that obnoxious thing you seem to cultivate. ::)

Dear Trent,
NS - just posted to this on FB - but to repeat (and I'm sure BA will back me up) they are not all exclusive to Glasgow "Thank you Driver" is used all the time here - as s the brass neck phrase - in fact I had thought the bus one was local to Nottingham - as it is not used up the road in Mansfield where I'm from originally - so I thought it was a peculiarly Nottingham thing.
It is something that always brings a smile to my face, a nice little refreshing gesture, a wee simple thank you, although as I stepped off the bus last night I overheard one little wifie say to her pal ( after she had thanked the driver ) god that driver wis a sour faced B******, and she was right, he had just given another wifie with three screaming weans a hard time because she never had the right change >:(
Glasgow, it always seems to me that just under the surface there is a bit of theatre/ friendly banter to be had.

I'm from Greenock which is all of 20 miles from Glasgow. A friend's mother used to tell the story of moving to Greenock from Glasgow when she got married, and going in to a cafe and asking for some ginger, and being brought ginger beer. Ginger in Glasgow is a catch all term for any aerated drink, so she was expecting to be told what types of ginger there were, e.g. lemonade, limeade, cream soda, dandelion and burdock (it was a long time ago), but in Greenock ginger meant ginger beer.
I went to primary school in Greenock and secondary in Glasgow and should one have absented oneself without leave, in Greenock you were skidging or doing a skidge, while in Glasgow you would be dogging it.

I prefer to hear the Scots speaking on the TV, it's the subtitles or what? what? what?

I have to say in general P taking and banter in general with our north of the border friends, is always welcome here, the only trouble with Scots is, when exchanging banter with you lot, if scores were kept, well you keep getting too many points and I can't retort for laughing.
