When I bought my new ereader a couple of months ago it came pre-loaded with a few books. I ignored them until yesterday when I had finished what I was reading and was looking for something else. I saw that one of the pre-loaded books, Paying For It by Tony Black was set in Edinburgh and wondered whether it might be like Rebus.
It might very well be, but I'm afraind there is a language barrier that I struggle with;'
'I saw Mac the Knife was on edge. I knew the signs. The Weejie stride was in place, chest out, in a dead heat with the spacehopper guttedge,'
I know (or think I know) that Weejie refers to someone from Glasgow. Maybe I understand 'Weejie stride' as a way of walking, but 'spacehopper guttedge' Nope!
