BrendaS53, sooo with you on that one.......drives me nuts when people root around their handbags/pockets for bus fares. You know you're needing to pay have it ready!!!!!!! I always have my money/ticket in my hand before getting on and most often the right amount. Not rocket science is it lol.
Thought of these too.......yer know what I mean .............and basically.......
Brenda, .....People who stand at the bar for ever deciding what drink they want!!!!!! "You've just walked into a pub, hadn't you given it any though beforehand?????"
You guys would hate it down here "in these parts"
Everyone is "me lovely, me darlin,me loveliness" the list goes on.
For us chaps, the dreaded "mate" is replaced with the much nicer " buddy"
Brenda my father came from Turrif and not long after I was married my OH and I visited my uncle near there. OH hadn't a clue what we were talking about all afternoon.

"You've got upducks on your shoe."
"What's upducks?"
"Nothing, dearie."
Ooh - yes -please. I didn't realise...
Mind you, it's a tad early to start. He'll be on the orange juice anyway.

I once met an old gardener who had moved to Hampshire in 1961. He was from Turriff.
Even though I was brought up in Greenock ,and he'd lived in Hants for almost 50 years, I struggled to understand him.
Years of isolation working mainly on farms methinks kept his accent strong.
As I cam' in by Turra Market,
Turra Market for to fee
I fell in wi' a farmer chiel,
The Barnyards of Delgaty
Hosta, wouldn't mind me darlin or me lovely, it's Dear I don't like.
Or men saying the wife
Fortunately my OH doesn't call me that lol 
"Dear" can be hugely patronising, but my dear late mother called everyone " Dear" if she felt they deserved it.
It's all about context eh?
I can refer to my Hubby as a " skinny old poof" and that's fine, but if someone else called him that, it'd not be the same.
