Watching the news one day with wife, and her very Scottish grandmother. A young reprobate, it is reported, is going to go down for 6 years for arson. She looks up, outraged, and starts venting:
"Arson? They canna say that on the tv. And 6 years? I dinna agree with it, and there's too much of it about now an a', but you get less for robbery. I liked that Dick Emery too..."
While the stream of consciousness ranting continues, wife and I look at each other, puzzled. Wife clicks.
"Arson, nan. Not arsing."
