Never understood that, the village in EK is actually quite a quaint little 17th street completely surrounded by 50s houses.

Think that area is a bit of an open air shabeen for the local bampots.

I'm sorry, would you mind translating for someone who's never been north of the border?

As a child, realising that there was a place called West Kilbride, I thought that East Kilbride would be (a) close and (b) the same (small agricultural village).
