I have a different answer for 6 _ in a Scottish fish and chip shop you<br>can get fish suppers, or haggis suppers, or deep fried mars bars or pies<br>that look as if they are made from cardboard, but taste slightly better,
<span> </span><br>with a gob of something that you guess may once have been a sheep<br>inside.</span></blockquote></div>re those pies you failed to mention the grease from the deep fryer emananting from the slit cut in them prior to frying.
</div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">One can also buy (deep fried) black, white, and red pudding suppers, deep fried pizza suppers, and in some a</div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
weird deep fried fruit pudding. </div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I'll give you full points.<br><div style="margin-left: 40px;" class="Ih2E3d"><blockquote type="cite"><span style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
Oddly enough, fish and chip shops in England sell fish and chips (no<br>meal qualifier) and pies. Which taste worse than Scottish pies look.<span> </span></span></blockquote></div>Aye but those pies come direct from the oven and are never deep fried.
</div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Many English chip shops also serve pease pudding in a paper poke and</div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">saveloy sausages (tasteless) to dip into the mix.

Not sure if that qualifies for the ten points, or not.<span> </span><br><br>13. Does Jock count?</span></blockquote></div>NO ! Generally used by non Scots although some Scots will use Joack.</div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
Jimmy dominates.<br><div style="margin-left: 40px;" class="Ih2E3d"><blockquote type="cite"><span style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
Husband quibbled over the cathederals question: he says that it _was_ a<br>cathedral, which is why it's now in the care of Historic Scotland. <br></span></blockquote></div>Popularly known as such even by Edinburgh's population but they are so ignorant of much of their City.
</div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Presbyterians have neither cathedrals nor bishops and in the Episcopalean faith a bishop's usually has his cathedral.</div><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
