You don't need to be a Gawbie to do the quiz Baths, anyone can do it ;-)

Is a gawbie a sworn enemy of a Tyke?

[Mamyalynne]

Legend has it that the name is a corruption of'Gawpie' after some Shaw citizens were conned into paying a tanner to watch a mill chimney being demolished.


* Gawp - to stare open mouthed like a fool.

[galasalmon]

Well I am not a gawbie then I live in Scotland

[Bathsheba]
