      My friend’s dad is from Scotland. He came to Canada and works as a dealer at a casino. One day, two obviously gay men sat at his table and one of them put down his pack of cigarettes. My friend’s dad then unknowingly said “I’m sorry sir, but we don’t allow fags at the table”. Everyone learned a bit about regional dialects that day!
