What do you call your mower?

We recently replaced our aging robot mower with the Luba. After watching it motoring at speed up and down, the family had a competition to name it. In order, we nominated, then awarded;

3rd place: Sir Mowsalot

2nd Place: The Lawnborghini (best announced in your best Jeremy Clarkson voice)

1st place: Mow Farah!

So, what’s your name (suggest we avoid that piece of #%* after the firmware updates - plenty of that on other threads!)

As a taxpayer in the Midlands, I’m looking forward to visiting our publicly owned stadium next year 😂

And what a lovely stadium it is!

How the Scottish presenter pronounces ‘constituency’.

I have really enjoyed the election coverage. I do love a good election. The ridiculous sniping between political guests, the swingometer and Westminster filling up graphics, the ‘I know this isn’t a general election, but if it was…let’s see what it would mean histrionics’. Oh it’s glorious.

But how the young Scottish political presenter (not Laura, the young lad whose name I missed) pronounces ‘constituency’ is a joy. It’s a weird and beautiful ‘conshcishuency’.

I keep wanting to find a Scottish person, to determine if this is just how it sounds across certain Scottish dialects, or if he’s personally invented a new word. Can somebody more familiar with Scottish speakers please tell me, as it’s a big talking point in our house!

Update: I found it!…the presenter was David Wallace Lockhart and he even says constituency in the clip!!
