Pronounce 30 as “therty” rather than thirty.

Even BBC newsreaders etc say "therty". Its use passed me by until recently. Hadn't seen much wrong with "thirty". 

What is the stance on 'THURTY'

BBC Scotland needs to learn that silence is golden. They should still have "Call Kaye" or Fred or whatever dross they put on in the morning but just not broadcast it. Make it more like an early 90s party line where all the nutters can speak to each other.

One step up from Rab C is the Saturday night look of a bright stripey Polo Shirt, that would be so loud that John Daly would reject it as too loud for the golf course, worn under a suit jacket.

The suit has the look of been purchased from charity shop about a decade ago and the jacket is double breasted.

It is topped off by the clinking noise of three gold rings on pinkie and next two fingers hitting the glass every time he picks up his pint.

I had never seen this until I was in Platform 5 on Saturday. Strange behaviour, yet I joined in. I'm lower class apparently. I hope no-one in Cults finds out.

Queuing at bars isn't a lower class thing.  They were doing it 45 years ago when I first arrived at Glasgow Uni beer bar. They were still doing it recently.  I suppose every bunch of freshers just learns that that's what you do.

Referring to their girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband/sister/brother as "this one". See: "Don't no were ad be without this one xoxo"

Referring to something as "wee" when it isn't actually small in size whatsoever. See: "Gawn for a wee day oot wi this one xoxo"

Calling someone who enjoys the finer things in life a Tory. 

Not knowing when to use "there", "their", "they're", "seen", "saw", "done" or "did". 

Liking, retweeting or sharing "Scottish Patter" or "Scottish Twitter". 

Tagging people in Facebook comments.
