A Tribute To Shotts
The Poem below was found on some random website and I thought it deserved some recognition for its clear depiction of Shotts life.
Widdy's Radge Shotts Voem

We're chergin doon tae the nuclear Voe,
How we'll end up we doh know,
The chances are we'll probably glow
Cause we ur the radge cunts fae Shotts.

Intae the Buckie cause we cannae get speed,
Every bugger thinks we're aff wur heid,
This time next week we'll likely be deid
Cause we ur the radge cunts fae Shotts.

We're mangled noo and it diznae hof show,
We've got wur heids doon the lavvy po,
And Nessie's crashin trollies in the Co
Cause we ur the radge cunts fae Shotts.

Ma mate is biff, he's gonnae die,
He must huv ate an Ernie's pie,
He'll go tae that off-sales in the sky
Cause he is a radge cunt fae Shotts.

Caww us whit ye want, anyhin goes,
Aww oor maws, they smell o the shows,
We ski doon the bings where bugger aww grows
Cause we ur the radge cunts fae Shotts

       (wee sad bit)

We ran oot o bevvy roonaboot seven,
The mine shafts collapsed at hof past eleven,
NAE bloody chance we'd huv cherged intae Heaven
Cause we wur the radge cunts fae Shotts..
I dont know who it was who wrote this. Widdy presumably.

For people who dont know "the Voe" is an old quarry works place that has now filled with water to form a large lake type thing. Its commonly refered to as "torbothie beach" in a (very) sarcastic tone. Ive heard theres a dead donkey in there.

Ernies is a local fish and chip shop. As for people dieing after eating the stuff. No Comment. It wasnt me who said it, it was widdy.

"The Co." is the local Co-Operative supermarket. Its quite a popular place for young neds to hang out (apart from the bus stops).
