1. Ye can properly pronounce; McConnochie, Ecclefechan, Milngavie, Sauchiehall, St Enoch, Auchtermuchty and Aufurfuksake. - Bugger I can do this

2. Ye actually like deep fried battered pizza fae the chippie. - Disgusting

3. Ye get four seasons in wan day. true

4. Ye canny pass a chip/kebab shop withoot sleverin when yer blootert. only for a pizza

5. Ye kin fall about pished withoot spilling yer drink. impossible

6. Ye see people wear shell suits with burberry accessories - pure class! all the time, however burberry is so passe these days

7. Ye measure distance in minutes. doesn't everybody?

8. Ye kin understaun Rab C Nesbitt and know characters just like him, in yer ain family. I understand him, yet cannot mirror him to any of my family

9. Ye go tae Saltcoats cos ye think it is like gaun tae the ocean. [I live by the Clyde, yet have never had the desire to go to saltcoats

10. Ye kin make hael sentences jist wae sweer wurds. nearly, swearing is my downfall

11. Ye know whit haggis is made ae and stull like eating it. Haggis is brilliant, they come as free range in my local kwick save

12. Somedy ye know his used a fitba schedule tae plan thur wedding day date. couldn't get married and miss the football, that reeks of hippyness

13. You've been at a wedding and fitba scores are announced in the Church/Chapel. suppose its the same for sheep fertillity in the frozen north...east!

14. Ye urny surprised tae find curries, pizzas, kebabs, fish n chips, irn-bru, fags and nappies all in the wan shop. Tesco never misses a trick

15. Yer holiday home at the seaside has calor gas under it. yes it is blue normally!

16. A big flash car has a ned at the wheel. Ned Flanders drives a huge RV

17. Ye know irn-bru is a hangover cure. havn't drank Irn Bru in a long time

18. Ye learnt tae sweer afore ye learnt tae dae sums. I admit, im rubbish at mental maths

19. Ye actually understand this and yurr gonnae send it tae yer pals . no that would be sad, plus folk who send this sort of stuff have a very poor scence of humour

20. Finally, you are 100% Glaswegian if you have ever said/heard these words...

It could well be. IIRC, Flossie was wearing a particularly fetching shade of lipstick that day.

Hey So do I live in Helensburgh!! I didn't realise there were any fellow PHers here! Don't want to say online exactly where I am but next time you see a cosmic grey Civic Type R give it a wave! We may even know each other - weird!

.....There is that many Type R's kicking around its hard to know who's who. However any Grey Civic will now have me peering like mad to get a heads-up on the driver.

Still good to know there's a fellow burgh punter online, and finally somebody will know the roads I highlight in the 'Roads' section.

Hey Golfy, I think i saw you yesterday!


I was sitting on Clyde Street oppo Helensburgh cycles, in a big line of traffic waiting on the lights to change.

A 'Cosmic grey' Type R drove the other direction, it had a 5 figure reg plate...but to be honest I was in a daze and didn't react quick enough to wave or make an idiot of myself.

Was about 2pm on Sat afternoon btw

Yes that was me!
I was just taking a trip up to Glasgow. I usually take the Loch Lomond road but due to the dodgy resurfacing job I was going via Cardross instead.
