Imitation, sincerest form of flattery?

Speaking of the misinformed tourists reminds me of people I've met who know nothing about the South and think that none of us wear shoes and that we always call grocery sacks a "poke"

You maybe don't realise it but a "poke" is pure Scots. Anyone from Glasgow would immediately know what a "poke of chips" or a "poke of sweeties" was. So you see, some things have endured down the years.
Next thing you'll be telling us that you would go for a daunder down to the river and have a plouter there! Or how about a chittle on a chittery bite? (chittle is Scots to nibble or gnaw on something and a chittery bite would be a snack of something).
