    That's very magnanimous of you Bompy! I would have guessed you would have said:

    Anyone south of Carlisle.

    Fair enough. As you are an eminent Chookta, where does that place us lowlanders?

    Never mind lowlanders, what about Gallovidians?

    The Gallovidians are a rare breed. Most of the inhabitants are Narden Irish. Often referred to as the 'Galloway Irish'.
    They came over during the late 1800's and caused irrevocable problems to which the area never recovered. This isn't PC* but I don't give a farq.
    They were mostly illiterate and would work for half the going rate. So they brought low skilled cheap labour that effectively impoverished the indigenous Gallovidians. The semi-skilled and skilled labourers that were here left and went East and into the central belt or even abroad
    *I am not criticising them for their illiteracy and poor education, nor making any comment about the political/geographical/sociological reasons as to why they came.

    The Scots came from Ireland (Hibernia) did they not?

    People who drive right up your back side, under take you, change lanes 15 times in an attempt to beat the traffic and don't realise the irony when you trundle past them as they are stationary and you are in the same lane you started in.

    :D That gives me a warm fuzzy feeling of pride.

    As regional stereotypes go, I'll take being a carrot munching tractor driver over tight-fisted kilt wearer any day :P

    This describes my journey back most nights of the week on either the M25, A13, A127 or A12, however I would have put this in the trivial things that cheer you up thread!

    Undertakers, they are people who bury the dead in the appropriate coffin in the appropriate area.
    Under takers on the road. Are those the guys in the hearse?
    It's those who pass on the left. And get over it. It means you are in the WRONG LANE.

    Good point - I may well pop it across there tomorrow to both cover all bases and increase my post rate.

    Errr - not really when it's a dual carriage way in rush hour and both lanes are chocker and essentially stationary - except for me burning off the undertaker at a mighty, oooohh, 12 mph, while she sat there in her crappy X5 staring straight ahead as I giggled to myself.

    Reminds me of the undertaker's overseer who underwent an overturn when he undertook to overtake underneath an overpass.

    Yup - and you if read the post I never questioned the legality of it all, just the pointlessness. Or did you miss that? I'd hazard I'm a bit more quailed up on the driving front than you say may be aware of small things like that.

    The point is changing lanes repeatedly whilst wearing a face like a slapped backside to try and gain 7 yards is just plain weird. Just sit where you are and listen to a Radio 4, chill, and you'll be a lot less stressed when you get to where you are going at exactly the same time as the bloke who sat in one lane.

    Or in this case, arrive a lot less stressed after the bloke who sat in one lane chilled out listening to Radio 4.

    I think that the spirit of this topic may be going over some people's heads...
