Is ‘that’s you’ unique to Scotland?

[Hipcircle]

English colleague (who is otherwise lovely) said that this baffles her in shops and restaurants.

Is this true?! It was only after she said it I realise how often I say it!

In what context are you using it?

I have no idea what you are talking about! Can you expand on this?

Nope. NI too.

Translation - here you are/you're ready to go.

Yes, as in here you are!

This morning I zipped the wee one up and said ‘that’s you’. Or in a shop, they give you your order and say ‘that’s you’.

Or if someone has put on their coat at work, you nod and say ‘that you?’

God, it really doesn’t make sense!

It's a short hand way of saying “that's you all sorted".

I'd be totally confused, I've never heard that before!

I say it (SE England). Never really thought about whether other people say it though.

I'm Scottish and I use it a lot. Short for "that's you all sorted/all done".

😂😂😂 I either say 'that you' or 'you right?'

Makes zero sense lol

I also use it when someone is leaving - is that you? = "is that you all done"?

I don't hear it at all. But I think we might use 'there you go' in similar-ish context?

I say 'that's you there'

Yep, that’s you there hen!

When obviously it is not you there, it is your coffee. Madness. My mind is blown that I’ve used it so casually all these years!

I knew exactly what you meant when I read the post title. It's something I've only heard said by Scottish people. Funny, as I have Scottish parents but can't recall them ever using it themselves! Love the phrase though.

that’s you there

I would use that if referring to a drink I’ve made for someone, but not heard of any of the other examples (SE).

Yes, I'd say 'that's you there' giving someone tea or coffee etc

I had something happen to me recently and made me think how you say things regionally.

A woman at work asked me if I was ok, I replied with 'arr' which means 'yes',
She looked at me and said 'arr?'
She had never heard it before so it does happen.
I've never heard that before OP

My Scottish in-laws say it. FIL says 'That's you hen' when he puts a cup of tea down in front of me

On similar lines, but I am a southerner, while driving I recently asked DH, "Is that me?" To which he responded, "If you are asking, 'Is that my turning?', then the answer is 'Yes'". Of course, I then realised how ridiculous the question was.

I would confuse me if you said it to me. I think the English equivalent must be "there you go".

A woman at work asked me if I was ok, I replied with 'arr' which means 'yes',

I've never heard of anyone saying arr before. Unless they were imitating a pirate. In which region do people say arr?

You'll have had your tea, OP?

It means the same as “right you are”

You'll have had your tea, OP?

As I am from Glasgow, I will say: No, no, don't go to any trouble.
I will mean: Get the kettle on and the Kit Kats out.

Yes, 'that's me' also used at motorway junctions
