manifesto... I'm sure of it!
I'm not sure if Gordi is ginger, though.
As Willie in The Simpsons displays, it's a stereotype that Scotsmen tend to be red-haired
or 'ginger' as they say south of Hadrian's Wall!!
In Britain they have many of these 'semi-mickey-takes'... for myself, I would be seen as
someone who eats a Parmo or a Stottie cake and talk like this:
"Whey mate, How's it ganin... like?"
("Why, hello there friend, how is it going?")
In Wales, the male stereotype is someone who enjoys romancing sheep, wears a leek in
his lapel and sings on high mountains.
In the south, everyone is seen as a Cockney who enjoys eating pie and mash, sings
accompanying a piano and instead of the usual words, rhymes them as such:
"Watcha me-old cocker... I'm goin' up the apples and pears"
("Hello my chum, I am ascending the stairs")
There's many others and of course, Gordi's stereotype -just as most, is done only in jest.
