Things we do to fit in"When I was fifteen," writes No3L, "I curled up in a Budgens trolley while someone pushed it through the supermarket doors to nick vodka and Benny Hedgehogs, just to hang out with my brother and his mates."
What have you done to fit in?

*Puts hand up*Me too.
Scots parents but I was born and brought up in the South of England. My mum and dad still have the Sunday Post every week and we all make regular trips up to see all the family - including granny who is in her 90s and still trotting to the bingo every day.
I've Scots friends who didn't realise my heritage at first and were confused when I understood Scots words or used them in conversation....peelywally comes to mind.
That said, I can't speak in a Scots accent - well, certainly not in front of my family, they'd laugh at me! So in that respect I don't and never will fit in with the rest of my extended folks.
But bagpipes make me cry.
