Wow, the locals were polite when you were last round here.

Scotland has a varied and imaginative language for insulting people and starting fights. Actual swearing is rarely aggresive - more male bonding. More innocent seeming phrases (to the uninitiated) are the real killers. Took McDonalds about five years to realise that the reason they got so much aggro in their disease pits^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hrestaurants is that "Can I help you?" is one of the direst insults in Glaswegian...
