I'm a Weegie myself but I'm surprised no one has mentioned Edinburgh yet - Edinburgers.
Wouldn't want to eat one.
Come to think of it, don't like to meet them either.   ;D ;D


According to the book you have the word wrong - its Edinbuggers and Weegies

Quote
Theres a slogan that Glaswegians use when talking about Edinburghs world-famous joie de vivre: Edinburgh! A castle, a smile and a song. . . One out of three isnt bad. Edinburghers retaliate by talking of why all the Wise Men come from the East and all the cowboys from the West.

Forgot to add .... Brandane , a person born on the Isle of Bute in the town of Rothesay on the Isle of Bute


My brother in law confirms the name only applies to those born within the town boundary

I've never heard about the Wakefield folk, but people from Lincolnshire are Yellerbellies.
Don't cry because its over. Smile because it happened.
