    Here is a wee story that made me [face_laugh]

    CHARLES Provan, who admits to living
    in Lanarkshire, the wine-drinking
    centre of Scotland, was taken aback
    when he opened a bottle of normally
    cheeky claret to find it extremely
    musty. He took it back to the
    supermarket in Larkhall whence it
    came - such is the relentless march
    of gentrification - and explained to
    the cashier that the wine was
    "corked". To which she replied: "Aw
    oor wines are corked, it's only the
    cheap wans that come screwtapped".

    That's like my friend, who had been living in England for years, visited her Mum in Castlemilk and decided to go to the local offsales for some Gin. She asked "What kind of Gin does this establishment sell" and was told "Bottles, haulf bottles and quarter bottles"

    LOL - I remember coming back from Debs' folks and asking my Mum to make me a "buttie". She nearly threw the knife at me exclaiming "Butties is it, is a piece no good enough for you now?"
