We went and it was very good. Tessa put on a good show, and I thought the Conservative woman had a certain personal appeal - having worked her way through school/ degrees via macdonalds. I am afraid the Liberal candidate would have put a lot of people off due to slight ramblings and going over time. The Green candidate had some thought provoking points too -especially on health issues. What did everyone else think?

Were there any bigots there?

[womanofdulwich]

Never referred to even-although questions had to be written down in advance and handed in- may be they were all screened out.??

Bigot is a term used regularly in Northern Ireland and Scotland and is a term of affection.

Howaya Mick ya bigot ya!

[womanofdulwich]

Are you getting confused with "big eejit" (big idiot)sounds a bit like bigot. I have never heard a scot say bigot affectionately.

[Narnia]

Have you heard a Scot say anything affectionately?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Och, you silly, wee sassenach.

When quoting Robbie Burns.... yes!

"Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,

Great chieftain o the puddin'-race!

Aboon them a' ye tak your place,

Painch, tripe, or thairm:

Weel are ye wordy of a grace

As lang's my arm."

[Narnia]

That would melt any woman's heart.
