    Tatties are winning or are you suggesting that those calling them Tatties are potato heads (totties)? :56:

    I'm guessing the name dates back to when the totties were lifted and weans got the week off school to go help.

    Yeah, sounds like it :56:

    Away back years ago I can understand it, people had nothing but in recent years, that's tough going....just like kids being sent down the mines.

    I used to pick fruit with my dad, mostly wild growing fruit, brambles and damsons...he'd make jams. As for totties, well we never even did that except from our own garden.

    If I said in school I was looking forward to the tattie holidays. I would be picking the bucky bottle out my eye for the next fortnight and deservedly so.

    ,
    Yep, I agree. It falls into the same category as mince n tatties and therefore, the term tatties should only be used twice.
