That is a dangling carrot then. Read them and then look forward to a bit of light relief, excluding Thomas Hardy of course.

Yep, and can't help conflate this with the fact that, due to temps in Scotland regularly plummeting lower than south of the border, removal of winter fuel payments can hit harder up here... hypothermia or even death kinda harder 😞

I'm living my best TV life right now.

Shetland, The Burning Girls, Wolf Hall, The Mirror and The Light. Plus I've watched Jude and Far From The Madding Crowd the past week. I do love a bit of Thomas Hardy, but by Christ his novels are depressing

Ooh, I see #stvnews is reporting on the protestors in Lewis over Tesco Sunday opening, all 4 of them 🤣

"Is this the woke hotline? I'd like to report a sandwich, please"

Ooh, I just thought of peevers, or peeverie beds. An old shoe polish or tobacco tin, containing the chalk you marked the beds out with.
Or when you had one pair of roller skates between you and your pal. You sat on a Bunty annual on top of one skate, and just went for it. Knuckles totally shredded

🤣

I sometimes do, like Lulu with her disappearing Scottish accent, depends who I'm talking to😀

Oh aye, they would cure inverted nipples every time🤣

Bunker! None of your kitchen worktops or counter tops, it was a bunker😂

Bumps or double bumps (really fast turns of a skipping rope, ending in red raw stinging legs usually)
Dumps (or bumps on the back from your pals as a birthday celebration😁)
