Jusy yesterday there was some English expert on something being interviewed on Radio Scotland Drivetime. At one point the presenter cracked "you know how it is, it's always bad weather up here". Well no, it isn't, but if even Scots keep saying that kind of thing, how are non Scots going to believe any different? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was guilty of engaging in a discussion about Arsenal (despite having not watched a single game) and accepting the ‘who would watch Scottish football?’ Reciprocation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 People using the self scan as a team event. I can understand one scanning, one packing to an extent ( though even that is taking the piss tbh), but when there are others just standing watching, and blocking off the scanners on either side, that’s when boots need allocated to pies. And yes, of course I meekly said “Excuse me”, then apologised for making them move, but that’s not the fucking point. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I've probably ranted about this before, just back from walking the dog on a reasonably popular walking trail with signs all over it saying "keep dogs on leads". Obviously doesn't apply to glakit middle aged women with wee yappy ankle biters, had to pick my dog up to stop her ankle biter becoming my dogs dinner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Actually the East coast of Scotland is one of the driest regions of the UK because of the mountains taking the brunt of the prevailing westerlies and causing a rain shadow. So, erm, no." The above exchange, or similar has happened at least half a dozen times with me. See also, ordering any salad or vegetables when eating out. Can't think where the dour stereotype comes from though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similarly when I’m out for a run, people have dogs off lead and I get a metre away then their stupid daft dog decides to jump/run infront of me. No problem with the dogs being off the lead just a bit of awareness from the owner would be nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Washed the car yesterday. A neighbour was out walking her dog. As she passed she jokingly said "you can wash mine too" Jeezo. Is there a lower form of conversation? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basic manners. Same with small kids.......passing with dog or running free 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely let my dog off lead as I'm not 100% with his recall, only when the path is dead with just us two on it. Whenever I see a runner or cyclist I am well out of their way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
