Does everyone know what a scum run is?
A lad I work with had never heard of it and is adamant it's specific to where I live, but I assumed everyone knew what it was.
So what do you think it is?
Rum or run?
No idea?
Bugger. Edited, should be scum run.
I bet Han Solo could do it in twelve parsecs.
Never heard the expression before. At a guess: defendant on their way to/from court?
No idea...
Are we talking about a "scum run" or the "scumrun" as evidenced by @eddiebaby's link? Hadn't heard of the latter either since I've no interest in motor sports/events.
Blimey, maybe he's right. I thought it must be something that everyone does at some point, but it looks like its just us weirdos.
Let's see if anyone comes along who gets it.....
Never heard it before. Born in Leicester, move to Halifax at 16, lived in Leeds for past 20 years.
Never heard of it down here in Bristol
Let’s see if anyone comes along who gets it….
Is it the Urban Dictionary definition? If so never heard it, never done it. (sarf coast)
Never heard of it here either. I’d it running naked through a rough estate?
Nipping to the shop in your pjs/dressing gown?
Never heard of it. Sounds like the sort of thing that happens at school chucking-out time.
During the cold snap in January local radio was warning that mothers in Chessington should wear two pairs of pyjamas when picking up the kids from school.
If your from Portsmouth it means going for a run in Southampton lol
I think I’ve just seen the results of one... back roads on the way home, some piece of utter scum has done a run down the single track road leaving crap all the way down - bits of furniture, paper, kids’ toys... so is it moving flytip?
🤣
Maybe you've all just got different terms for it.
There's two different versions of the scum run that I know of. It's traditionally done in the run up to Christmas.
I live in Blackpool. It's basically a pub crawl, starting at one end of the promenade (usually in a Spoons) and heading back to the town centre. You either go to all the bars on the front that are generally tourist or stag/hen traps like Yates, or stick to the back streets and go in the pubs that are..... very local. Basically the pubs that you'd normally never dream of going in.
I figured that it might be something that everyone does in their local town, going in the boozers you always walk past coz there's usually a fight or a BNP meeting going on inside!!
Usually ends up being a good day out, dirt cheap too. Got 5 pints under £8 last time. And free sausage rolls.
A it happens, that urban dictionary definition has it, Waterloo road and the dog and partridge are in Blackpool
The lad I work with lives in leyland, so not far away and he'd never heard the term before

I'm in West Lancs,never heard of it around here.
No I've always tended to avoid flat roofs. Not a term I'd heard either.
My Other Half lived in Blackpool all his life (until I dragged him away a few years ago) and has never heard of this term either - he has of course partaken in the activity.
Damn, and there was I thinking it was intergalactic slang for the planet Earth
As in 'Scum run the planet'
No idea what it is without cheating. I've mainly lived in Scotland, Kent. Yorkshire and the South West.
If your from Portsmouth it means going for a run in Southampton lol
You should get your skates on...
Lol im not a football fan but the two cities rivalry seems to go past just football
Just a bit of fun at the end of the day for me
