Gentile Edinburgh Yoof

So, my wife & I were carrying some step ladders through Edinburgh close to midnight on Friday when I encountered some chip eating yoofs on a staircase, who politely moved out of our way doffing caps & curtseying.

.

On passing by one cheeky scamp inquired “Hey you, Mr. with the ladder!  Why are you carrying that ladder”, “That, my young greasy friend is none of your business” I replied.  He looked like he was going to cry and squeaked “I was just interested” so I took pity on him & told him what my ladder business was & he sounded genuinely interested.

.

Now picture this transported to this fair city:

“Haw you ya fanny, gies yer ladder”

“Eh, naw”

“Right, ladder-man, you’re deid!”
