Would you annex Berwick?
Nope. Too risky. Still at war with Russia 'n all that.

Shakespeare used bairn [maybe only in Macbeth must check]. A lot of what we think of as Scottish is just old fashioned and was used in England long ago too.
The romany words - Radge, barrie, shan - were new to me when I moved east. Ken was ubiquitous but wee willie the bar man in UB Chip from Perth said Ken like say all the time so I was prepared for that one.

Dare I say, speaking as a southerner (although my father was a Scott) We call Them "Sprogs" or "Chavs" down here which, I hasten to add is not as delightful as "Wee Bairns". As far as supporting your local bike shop is concerned I truly believe that they are the "lifeblood" of the cycling community and any praise in their direction is always very welcome!
I myself own a rather impersonal cycling comparison website which although, by offering a huge choice of bikes & accessories really caters for the needs of the masses with it's own merits, it does not supply that "personal" standard of service. It is this level of service which only local Bike Shops can provide and I am envious of them for this reason and this reason alone. Despite the proliferation of internet shopping & price comparison sites such as mine, there will always be a place for the bike shop around the corner in this world.
