I like this thread. And to be fair I do like the name of many Scottish teams. Wasn't there a famous match where the commenator said 'they will be dancing in the streets of East Fife tonight' not realising that this was not a place.


I have actually seen a scottish match as well, Celtic vs Forest in the UEFA cup in 83 (old school knockout competition, which was more interesting than most of the current European competions). I stood in the Jungle and did not utter a word all night, but apparently half smiled when Forest scored their two goals and when asked how long to go mouthed the answer.

Alan Medic said

Queens Park Rangers is similar. (to Queen of the South)


Nonsense, Alan. Queen of the South is like poetry. QPR is just the name of a district in London (Queen's Park).

Queen of the South is SOOOOOO much better than calling the team Dumfries United.


You must agree!

You were kinda close, the commentator said "they'll be dancing in the streets of Raith tonight" when Raith Rovers from Kirkcaldy beat Celtic in 1994 I think it was in the League Cup.


East Fife are from Methil which is just up the coast from Kirkcaldy, the 2 teams are fierce rivals!

Edinburgh City play in the East of Scotland League along with Civil Service Strollers, Edinburgh University, Herriott Watt Uni and Lothian Thistle that are all from Edinburgh! I think Leith Thistle play in East of Scotland too.


Perth used to be known as St Johns Toun or something like that years and years ago.

    • It's such an uneven provision, I live just west of E Dulwich towards Herne Hill/Dulwich Village and there are four Post Office counters within 10 mins walk max. They are all in local shops and provide a great service. 
    • Wanted to come on and do a review for DRJ Builders as I know how hard it is to find good quality and reliable builders in the area! David O'Brien and DRJ Builders are more than that - they are an absolutely brilliant building firm who we can highly recommend. We used them to do a side return extension, loft extension and full house renovation in 2016. They did such a great job, we have just used them again to add on a new rear extension to the ground floor in 2025. David is great to work with from start to finish and has a fantastic team of tradespeople who always deliver a very high standard of work. Would highly recommend them. You can get David on 07960 938621.
    • They do have other lockers where you can drop off parcels, as well as some shops who will take them. If you use the Royal Mail app, or website, you can also arrange for collection of parcels from your house. The service is actually pretty good (and a lot easier than going to the post office). There are a lack of Royal Mail lockers though. Would be good to get some more - perhaps one on North Cross road? They don't need to be outside the Post Office necessarilly.
    • In a similar  vein, are there any charity shops actually taking donations at the moment? ( after the usual post  Christmas chucking out phase, noone would take my things last week, they had too much already).
