I always thought a baxi was a gas fire !
Yes you would be correct in asuming that the spelling would be as you say, the glasgow slang for Castlemilk is 'Castlemanky' because of the area (if you dont know what manky is I will tell you !)
And if your from the east end of Glasgow you would pronounce commonhead "commonheed" !!!
I always thought that Robert carlyle was from Dennistoun in glasgow (same place as Lulu ) but there you go !
So are your parents from Commonhead/heed then ? - thats way at the back of easterhouse, and if you have been to easterhouse which parts do you know of ?
this is quite trippy actually, talking about easterhouse to someone in canada whilst living in accrington !!
