But we decided this week to open up THAT can of worms, and find out what the general consensus between us Glaswegians.

Is it Gran, or granny? Nan or Nannie? Meemaw or GG, as some of you told us?
There's a lot to decide on in this world, but boy we were wrong when we thought that this wasn't a contentious issue.
With over two thousand responses from our readers we knew this was a big discussion, and reader - we still don't have the answer.
There are hundreds of Grans and Grannies, some Nans, Nannies, Nanas and Grandmothers.
But because there were so many fabulous alternatives we thought we'd pull them out and give them a showing here.
Gunny and Mima (Or Granny Smith and Roomie).
Margaret Godfrey told us: "I called my grandma Gunny. I have five grandchildren, two call me Grandma and three that call me Mima pronounced Meema.
"One of the grandkids who call me Grandma also calls me Granny Smith, Roomie,and some others she dreams up. I love it."
The... Other Grandma
Mobetty Cuffe said: "My mum’s mum was grandma and my dads mum was “other grandma” - and we called her that to her face… cringe".
Diddab
Joy Brown said the most important thing - no matter what the grandparents are called, we love them all!
She said: "We are nanny and granddie to our grandchildren, though my eldest daughter's call the other set of grandparents granny and grandpa and my sons children called their other set of grandparents nanny and diddab. Children make up some names for different grandparents and who cares we love them all".
Grampy - a mix of Grandpa and Grumpy
Linda McGrouther said: "I'm Nana to our grandchildren and my husband is Grampy (a mixture of Grandpa and Grumpy) but the grandchildren all have three sets of grandparents as I am stepmum to my two bonus daughters.
"When I was younger my mum's parents were gran and Poppop and my dad's parents were Nanny and Poppop."

Sandra Porter said: "Granny and auld gran to the great grandkids".
Oma and Opa
Theresa Klesel said: "Oma for grandmother or Opa for grandfather and in Glasgow it was always granny for me. Now I am Oma because I cam married to an Austrian but I soooooo loved my granny she meant the world to me for me she is never forgotten".
'She wasn't going to be named after a dog'
Marjorie Armstrong Campbell said: "Grandma. My grandma wouldn't answer to nana. She said she wasn't going to be named after a dog (nana the dog in Peter Pan)".
Wee Da
