All fur coat and nae knickers

There is a (mostly good-natured) rivalry between Scotland's largest city, Glasgow, and its capital city of Edinburgh.

Edinburgh people quite rightly look down on Glaswegians as coarse and uncultured keelies, while for some strange reason Glaswegians write off Edinburgers as snobs; full of unwarranted airs and graces.

For lack of anything more interesting to keep them entertained, Glaswegians love to make jokes about Edinburgh people.

How many Edinburgh graduates does it take to screw in a light bulb? One - he stands still and the world revolves around him.

Edinburgers think Glaswegians are unsavoury, but they’ve never met any as they are too scared to go to Glasgow after dark in case somebody steals one of their 9 mobile phones.

In the interests of balance, I should point out that Edinburgh people have been quick to retaliate:

Glasgow has its own version of Monopoly – just one big square that reads: Go To Jail

Tell-tale sign that someone is from Glasgow- they have been married three times, and still have the same in-laws.
