Edd. Over time on this site I've noticed a few posters being offensive to the people who live up north. Just the other day it was, didn't know they had telly up there, now its cheuchter. i'm no snow flake far from it i'm X armed forces from Paisley. However, I've lived up North for decades and take offence to the perceived impression some have in the Glasgow bubble have of anybody up here. There is a large loyal following in this area with thousands of x forces and home grown support. Just because you live a mile from Ibrox does not give you ownership. My son and I live and breath Rangers like any other so let's burst the bubble Bears and move away from this small mindedness.

{Ed033's Note - It's possible that you have now caused some offence somewhere in the world using "Glasgow bubble". Is that a new gender? I'm Glasgow bubble gender and my wife is Attack helicopter gender. Have i just offended someone somewhere in the world who thinks there are genders other than male and female?

How crazy is this getting offended over anything going to become? The answer is, we haven't seen anything yet!

If you use a search engine to try to figure out what "cheuchter" means; could it mean anyone from Scotland? What's the problem with that?

You've summed it up Ed. People can't say anything these days for fear of offending some section of society, whether they be LGBT, Trans, vegans, extinction rebellion, blah, blah. I've lived in England for 35 years and have had good-natured banter, being called a Jock or a sweaty and have never taken offence. It is a crazy world we live in now. Enjoy banter without being offensive and get over yourselves!

{Ed033's Note - Yes, it's the old 'divide and conquer' routine being used against us.

Best course of action is to get on with your life, live by your own values and ignore those seeking to be offended.

Live and let live.

This is something that won't change, I live 160 miles North of Inverness and tell people my motor is a tractor. What I don't tell them is I don't have a motor but have a pony to get around!

Rather be a teuchter than a weegie. At least we know how to wash ourselves. Soapflakes not snowflakes.

Aye thanks edd. My point was a proportion of folks in the central belt appear to think of us up north are sort of dim witted last century people that live in some sort of back water. Thought Scotland had moved on from that, obviously not.

{Ed033's Note - Is "x forces", Special forces or X-Men (genetically modified soldier) forces? :)

It was me that said about the telly. Come on mate. Obviously I was joking and I am well aware there are TV sets North of the A9. Serious question though, are they in colour?

C of ibrox, my question is - do they still have round plugs up north for their black and white televisions? I'm joking by the way !

TJBB, I know I used word cheuchter other day in post regarding Inverness. If offensive to Northern bluenoses I shall refrain and in future remember worldwide support of our great team.
