Tea?

Nowt as simple as that down here. We have beck, brook, stream, river, and water to describe a watercourse.

In one of those odd similarities between languages, a stream is commonly called a 'Bächle' (Pron: Baechle) locally in both the Swabian and Alsässich dialects.

If a businessman/woman is met with disapproval, for instance an unkempt individual, they are called bachle. Bachles usually wear clothes for meetings which are a size or two too large for them. The 'ch' in bachle is pronounced as in the Scottish word 'loch'.

Great word isn't it. Lol.

It's wet and windy oot there but I went for a little plod through the puddles. Just good to get out. Rugby this afternoon so something to watch if the weather remains as bad.

We've got some amazing words and expressions..
'chanty wrassler' is my favourite...

A bit breezy out today, I stood out the back for some fresh air, 30 secs in to it, the sky opened, almost drookit

Fell out with the rugby, not the team but Scottish Rugby trying to extort money by introducing three levels of membership type thing, the cost ranged from free to £34..then they announce the Lions Test and well would you believe it, the £34 quid payees get early access to buying tickets.. embarrassing.
They could sell Murrayfield out over and over for the Six Nations games..
Exciting times now Russell is back in the camp....
You see it better on't telly anyway (says Bob with his lip tremblin')

That's a Cypriot cat that adopted us for a few weeks some years ago. She was a beauty.

Wouldn't common words help in communication, with slight variations disappearing over time.

You were told to keep it where it was safe!

Local saying is one giving sex and travel advice. 10-4 seems much cleaner.

You were in the £34 membership?

You should have been able to lock the door, keys into pocket and get to the gate before the heavens opened, causing you to turn back.

You're certain it's a Scottish word?

Same here... I suspect we have a word for the businessperson as well, but it's probably 27 letters long with sixteen syllables.
