O/T Why do the Scots have a problem with tenses?

[Holmeclaret]

Careful. Happens in here does that.

I used to get a bit of p*iss taking for “does that” or “is that” in London. Couldn’t have cared less about it. It’s obviously a Lancashire and I think also a Merseyside thing. I don’t know if it’s heard that much in Yorkshire.

Why does everyone in football always say 'them' instead of these or those?

Them things is often said, as an example.

I think tenses are the least of the Scots' problems....

Wow. Some folks have sad lives

[HuncoatClaret]

People saying drawring instead of drawing, and the most overused word of the moment "Genre" instead of style or category.

I’d like to add that the Universe is awesome, not your Happy Meal.
