No, it's miles from Dundee, which is in Angus.

Dornoch is WAY north, in the Highlands.

dundee is not in angus

its in tayside

According to the map it's in Angus!!

map o' scotland

well thats a shit map then

you leave dundee and it says "thanks for visiting dundee" then beside it it says "now you are in angus, welcome!"

and i know cos i live there (angus)

and i pay my council tax to angus council, if i lived in dundee it would be tayside and dundee city council

We own an RAC map that also says it's in Angus.

ok

We pay council tax to City of Edinburgh council, but the police are 'Lothians and Borders'.

Things curious and curiouser.

yes expat, she posted it about fifty times too

Huh?

I'm confused, too!

B/c map always says Angus, but then, like naily said, if you go to BBC Scotland news site, it says 'Tayside'.

I have no idea where Angus or Tayside are???

I need to travel more, in Scotland....

maily, am on main pc now. Have just replied to your email. Is everything ok ?

Sorry about my crappola Scottish geography

I send people Fortnum & Mason hampers for their birthday.

I only wear certificated VVS1 or above diamonds.

maily ? Of course I meant naily

I like the dundonian accent

is that non-poncey?

OK According to Scottish Enterprise this is the area " Tayside" covers:

Tayside covers 3,000 sq miles including Angus, city of Dundee and Perth & Kinross. The quality of the environment, first class education, excellent transport links and affordable housing make Tayside a very desirable place for businesses and residents alike

Oh blimey, I appear to have started a mini controversy

I'm befuddled.

We got our wing mirrors panned in Dundee, though.

The more I read this thread, the more I am forced to the conclusion that...

I am dead common!

lol at this thread, can't believe I missed it
am guilty of a lot of these and also I speak French at home

Ooh, I've just thought...

I am a well-known grammar curmudgeon

I refuse to ask for 'a panini' (panini is plural, doncha know)

DD1 has a 9-letter first name and an 11-letter surname

I buy my meat from a farm shop

I have a Raeburn (lower ponce points than an Aga, though), not least because it's old and rusty and needs to be treated with a lot of TLC

I think I may have dragged my ponce factor up from zero to about 3.5

Taliban is plural too. I had a really fight with myself when apporving a report recently "the Taliban is" or "the Taleban are"....damn it was difficult.

Ellbell, panini drives me mad too!

so tell me [admits ignorance]
what is the singular of panini? Paninus? Panina?

It's 'panino'.

Of course, to really get my blood boiling it just takes a sign advertising "Panini's" and "Cappachino".

I also boycott the cafe that calls itself (kind you not - Franca, you might want to look away now..)
