Just wondering are Sassenachs allowed to post on here, or is it a closed shop? I did once live in Kirkcaldy in the early fifties, but don’t remember much apart from the sheep getting into our back yard and constantly knocking over our dustbin.

Was that sheep as in singular or sheep as in plural?
In other words was this a single, constant re-offender or was this a regular flocking activity?

Regular flock activity, they used to push the back gate open, drove my mother wild.

I have a theory that Mothers enjoy this sort of activity - I never met a sheep yet that could undo a bolt or untie a knot - but there goes your old Mum, just pushing it to and waiting for the next time....
Funny things, Mothers.

You are not alone, there is a small, but growing, number of people on here who do not have red hair, short arms & deep pockets.

Ahem. Innit? Cor Blimey Geez, get a load of the Sweaties Socks rarnd ere. More of em than White Stilletos in Sarfend on a weekend.

We are tolerated thus far. We have also organised cultural exchanges

Although it has to be acknowledged that some such exchanges have been more cultured than others.

Dead cultured me, I hold my pinkie out when slurping me beer, and I try to fart in the gents. Unfortunately the farting bit is as well as farting in polite company, not instead of.

Being a certified Yorkshireman, I brag about the depth of my pockets and the shortness of my arms. I feel quite at home here

I've got some red hair, empty pockets (got my Hydrovane yesterday, yippee ), and I once lived in the Western Isles, but I definitely do not spout MacBabel

As another card carrying Yorkshireman I would compare my shortness of arm and depth of pockets with anyone.

Indeed, who amongst us has learned Braille so they can read with the light turned off.

My limited understanding of Garlic indicates that Sassenach actually means "Lowlander". So this would seem to include anyone not from the Highlands.

So those from anywhere south of, say Stirling, would be a sassenachs, which would of course include most Scots.

Not entirely sure what all this nonsense means, but thought I should point it out for the sake of completeness.

Personally I think its all Hadrians fault for building his bloody wall in the wrong place. According to him Newcastle is in England and Nth Shields is in Scotland, and that can't be right.

TFT OP.

I'm not too good at TLAs

TFT - Thanks For That....
