@Ticomaya,

Yes. I said at the beginning of this, it was mainly a jocular reference, and therefore somewhat imprecise.

@contrex,
When Stanley Baxter was filming a Loch Ness Monster Special with The Goodies, their idea of a Scottish accent was to say 'Hoots,' all the time. Baxter said he never said, 'Hoots.' Anyone know where that notion comes from as in the joke;

It hoots mon.

@McTag,
Thanks for that. It must be almost as annoying as being told you pronounce lovely as luvverly, and call everyone Gov'nor.
