Last summer, I was on the bus coming home from work. And there was a young senga on the bus with her wee ned-in-the-making. It must have been around 1yr old. But it (couldnt tell the sex) was covered, and I do mean covered head to toe in burberry!

The senga was literally holding this poor wean up for show to everyone on the bus. She was SOOO proud of the fact she had decked the kid out this way.

She got off the bus and was last seen heading toward George Sq (and NOT Georgies Sq as some idiots seem to like to pronounce it!).

Georgies Square, ya pie!

Isn't there some kind of benefits office in North Frederick Street?

And she must have travelled on her £2.25 all day ticket.

Neds get free travel passes as they all qualify under Learning disabilities.

Tut tut tut, I really MUST refer you all back to last year's punctuation threads and correct you all :roll:

Started here and ended up here.

As you point out, it is George Square, so they should be saying George's Square, unless they're pals with the owner, then they might get away with Georgie's Square.

Don't quite know how we'd get the concept of possessive and plural over to the neds saying it though. Best perhaps to let them be happy with getting the name almost right, and leave them happy in their ignorance (of the truth that is, I wouldn't suggest they were just ignorant).
