buchan30 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Here is Jessica Lange on a fucking bunker in The Postman Always Rings Twice. She reprised the act in Rob Roy, by this time the table feared being typecast and never acted again. We never had a “fucking bunker” just a normal one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I worked in Aberdeen they all talked about getting a butterie at lunchtime and traipsed over to the corner shop every day to indulge. I’d never heard of that or a rowie. Are you saying that even Aberdonians don’t know what to call it? Mrs. B is from Aberdeen. She calls it a butterie. They sound fucking rank and I’d never touch one btw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raidernation Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 It’s a rowie!!! My grandparents live right next to Thain’s on George Street and you’d have kicked out of their house (and probably the bakery) if you called it a butterie.PTTGOYN today. Sent home from school and Covid tested just cow I had some mild flu-like symptoms after my flu shot.Not allowed back til it’s clear.

tamthebam Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I've never heard "bunker" being used for a worktop in Edinburgh. I think I might carve a proper neep lantern this year. I tried it years ago and just gained new admiration for my old man managing to do it every year 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was used to describe the area of the kitchen under the sink or next to the window. It's where the coal would've been stored in the past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
