There's alot about this pic that's so quintessentially scottish.
The spinny clothesline thing we would hang on as children and attempt to spin around, until mum said we'd catch a hiding if we didn't stop. It didn't spin anyway, mostly you'd just rotate about 30% and it would tilt. I'm picturing an array of multi-coloured clothes pegs in the grass underneath it that have been there since 1994.
The depressing grey pebbledash walls of the working class suburbs that say "well, it looks like a council house but at least it's probably warm"
White socks under the sandals
The half baked attempt to decorate the otherwise empty garden with some plant pots
Dad's probably been meaning to paint that fence for the past 15 years or so
What's he got there? I bet it's a cup of tea and something totally devoid of flavour, like some mashed potatoes or a steak bake from down the road. I have no doubt this man stares outside his window in the morning to observe how his neighbours have ballsed up the parking.
I've noticed something similar in Ireland. The moment sun appears Irish people start acting as if it was 30C outside: wear shorts, sandals and eat ice-cream all the time.
Really speaks to this sub’s demographics how you’ve now got 100 people jumping in with “we have this in Wisconsin too” “also in Colorado” “good old Ohio”
