Let me tell you something, Perth. That sun? It came up the Tay. It came past Dundee first. We had it at 10.50. We were all on the Law by eleven, taps aff, eating pehs.
By the time it got to you it was second-hand. Used. Like a Perth fella’s view of a pie. So aye, enjoy your bright spell. We had the bright bit.

Shug’s right. We had it first. It was lovely. We had a wee picnic.

Second-hand sun is still sun, Shug. And we didn’t have to share it with Lochee.

I live halfway so I had it at about five past. Very fair.
