A compilation of those phrases and sayings which hen-pecked and harassed (and well-loved) Scottish dads have uttered to their children over the years. Favourites include: "Everyone in this house is entitled to my opinion!" and "It's OK wi' me if it's OK wi yer mother!".

These adventures of Big Aggie MacDonald, the caustic, wisecracking Glasgow tramcar clippie, should take readers back to the golden age of the tram. The seven short stories are interspersed with one-liners and jokes attributed to Aggie, and illustrations from cartoonist, Besley.
