Wait - so our characters are determined by our profession? duck knows what that would say about a forensic psych!

Or are we attracted to certain professions to fit our character? Maybe only really dull people are chartered accountants? (I don't know any accountants, so have no clue, but it just sounds boring.)
No, honestly...I put the 'fun' in funeral director! 😬

Hopefully you can get them delivered


It may depend where in Scotland you are but I hope you are able to get some for your husband.

We need a petition to make stotties available in all Greggs!

How does one eat a stottie? Would it be ok to slice it horizontally across the middle and have it as a big bap?

I usually slice horizontally and fill/butter and then quarters...if I am feeling generous 🤣

My DC have been known to attack a fresh stottie....well, like a Northener would carbs! No regard for slicing or buttering!

Of course it would!

You sound like someone who would properly appreciate it, too.

I would warn, though, that if you have loose stottie fillings it may be difficult to stop bits from falling out. (Bear in mind a traditional stottie can be 10" in diameter). Stick to "adhesive" things - ham and pease pudding is a strong favourite. Corned beef and onion. Prawn salad with plenty of seafood sauce. That sort of stuff. Use mayonnaise, brown sauce etc as glue.

You won't regret it.

Is almondcroissants (clearly a CARB EATER, disgusting) aware she's on the internet, with many different search engines at her fingertips?

I've also never heard of devilled sausages, but I am an accountant who was going to be made redundant and instead moved into a new non accountant role, so using the skills from both my personalities I simply googled it - looks delicious!

But not as delicious as a sausage wrapped in white bread aka Sausage Sizzle, which is god tier food!

I have 'social' in my job title. Imagine the horror

I have 'specialist' in mine.

Granted, the rest of my title denotes what I'm a specialist in, but you can't spell specialist without special.

So I'm special.

2 mins to devour an entire stottie?

Carb boot camp...NOW!

I don't understand how you dislike stotties? Are you actually even a Northern? 🤣

Hope Mr SkinKaare enjoys 😉
I'm true Northern aka Scottish, not the fake North that the Northern English claim 😂.

I just find them so dry and weirdly sweet?? I haven't tried it from Greggs yet though so that's on our stop list for visiting his family next month 😂

I'm going to come to you lot with my dilemma as posting on mumsnet would not be helpful in any way. What would you plan to wear to a summer wedding where the dress code is 'dress to impress'?🤔 I don't know if it means ball gowns, or just don't wear a tracksuit. Of course I could ask the bride but where's the fun in that. I'm a mumsnet certified fatty so maybe a sack dress would be a good idea
