For the last 2 weeks, every time I have seen references to 'mintpal', I have imagined a Glaswegian bloke saying it in admiration of his friends new car.... "aye!....thats mint pal!" The thing is, 'mint' was doing the rounds 20 years ago and I havn't heard anyone say it in ages so I wasn't too sure. So, curiosity got the better of me and I googled "thats mint pal". Well, guess what images turned up!! How I laughed....
Great one ! I hadn't noticed that.
