    There was a guy on RTE this morning talking bout the size of herds of cattle and how mainly dairy and how many for meat.
    Now it may have been good logic for Ireland, but after a lot of babble it seemed he was saying that he was boosting output by 40 percent while keeping the size of the heard the same as now.
    Are these giant cows, Huge udders or what?

    I don't think the Scots use the word Pig for police they have something unintelligible as their slang.

    You are right, though the term is recognisable. The preferred term is
    the Swedish word 'Polis'.

    Isn't it just the Scots dialect word for 'Police'? There will be
    influences from Norse but I can't see why a Swedish word would be used.

    A friend of mine who lived near Glasgow called police "Nods".

    In Scotland, something good is sometimes described as "braw", which
    sounds similar to a Swedish word that apparently means much the same.
    Those Viking invaders all those years ago may be responsible for more
    than is commonly realised.

    I think they put "Poileas" if they think anyone Gaelic is around.
