Hide contents anybody remember grant cheques? It was a long time ago but I think mine was for £314. I deposited it in The Royal Bank of Scotland in Renfield Street. That branch is of course ancient history. My younger lad is now dealing with his student loan. Strange world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacked the course after 1 year because of the drain on my parents income. Edited July 3, 2023 by Loonytoons 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the expression Up to high Doe ever used any more? It's "up to high doh" as it relates to the highest note of the singing scale (doh ray me fah...etc) rather than a female deer that's been on the wacky baccy. Youngsters don't use any phrases anymore that aren't provided via Americanised social media. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt n Vinegar Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 It's a while since I lived in Fife. Do those raised there still precede some expressions of appreciation or alarm with a kind of prefix "sha'?" Examples that come to mind are ""sha-heid", "sha-boy-sur" and my favourite "sha'hoor". I'm in my 60s, and remember these from being at Stark's Park but it's quite a while since I've been. Do the younger folk still use these or is it just the old codgers like me? Happy days... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
