I get this impression and have no idea why - is this my imagination or is this the case?

Where are you originally from?

I am thoroughly English.

Scottish. Living in south west England but have a fridge full of Irn-Bru.

"Nipping" pure geys me the dry boke, so it does.

Fortunately you don't hear that much these days.

I'm Scottish. And drunk.

Shuve in phemie

Agree - no independence talk. It's getting fucking boring - wish it was all over.

Which part of Scotland says 'maw'? I never use it, I'm from Perthshire.

A break from Indy chat would be good. Not had the best coverage this week.

Maw is weegie.

Maw is common in West Coast. Although my maw would slap me if I dared call her it. Was apparently common.

I'm Scottish but live in England.

I'm English, living in Scotland.

I like 'the back of'. It's gloriously approximate. In fact, I quite like all the differences in language I notice up here.

Eddie I don't think there are as many private schools in Glasgow than as in Edinburgh. I'd have have been thought very odd at work/making a point if I'd not sent my little dear to a private school in Edinburgh. I don't think that would be the same if we lived in Glasgow.
