    He's trying to be less dour now, the prospect of becoming PM is making him smile!

    But why the word is linked with Scots people more than anyone else I have no idea - apart from Edinburgh Traffic Wardens!

    My only experience with Edinburgh traffic wardens was one who wrote me a ticket 5 minutes after the time expired and could not care less that I was a visitor to his fair city. I had been delayed returning because of traffic to road works on the Royal Mile screwing up pedestrians!

    Dour would not be an expression I would have used in this case.
