    Ah, I’d never though about the regional variations on toasted cheese before.  For me it was always roasted when my friends talked about it but cheese on toast when my mum made it (from Aberdeenshire)

    Sorry, only spotted you wanted more to translate. This really could do with some attention. The four youngsters (15-22 in age) have got halfway up a hill towards the reservoirs and are about to get ready to play a trick on the kidnappers to get the ransom money back. Josh has been folded up in one of those trailers you put behind your bike and put your toddler in.

    “Tom and Josie wait here. No need for ye to cycle all the way up. I’ll take Josh up and get him in position and then I’ll come back and let ye know what we’re going to do. Tom, the bike please. Not dragging this nugget up the hill.” Jack said and laughed as Josh tried to extract himself from the trailer.

    No kid for Glasgow would ever be called Tom, Tommy or Tam yes, but not Tom. Reservoir would be the dam or the rezzy.

    Maybe you’d be better just basing it round Milngavie, in which case you could have them speaking in that annoying ubiquitous west end/swallows and amazons accent.

    Then they’d have e-bikes and going all the way up the hill wouldn’t be a problem.

    I’m just astonished that they were able to rustle up a bike trailer for emergency transport of a teenager but not an extra bike.

    I feel you’re not really striking a balance between authenticity and readability to facilitate clear plot exposition here 😉

    To set the next piece of dialog in context, they have stopped the kidnapper’s van by having Josie lie naked on the track ready to squirt vinegar into the eyes of the kidnappers and Jack has taken out the valves of the van’s tyres to make sure they won’t be able to follow them (actually they loose control and leave the road and die but the kids don’t know that) BTW Tom is the posh kid…

    “The valve caps will keep the air in for a few minutes but after that, they won’t go anywhere. Get ready to get on yer bike.” Jack whispered quietly before turning his attention to Josie.

    The caps will haud the air for a wee bit, but efter that, they’re stuck and urny gon anywhere. Make sure you’re ready to scarper oan that bike!

    Why is he naked and where’s he hiding the vinegar?

    Josie is the 22 year old sister of Jack’s. What better way to make sure the kidnappers stop the van and BOTH get out to have a look and she is has a very small waterpistol filled with vinegar. (Well it is fiction after all…) You’ll have to read the book to find out what happens when Josie gets into the hot tub with Tom’s dad. It is truly shocking!

    22 year old girls don’t ordinarily get all their kit off for their brothers 15 year old mates.

    Not even in Glasgow.

    Also, poor Josie is now suffering either frostbite or midge bites

    She feels very guilty as she thinks she might have killed Tom’s dad and nearly killed his grandmother by accidentally shutting her inside a walk-in fridge. But you’re right normally they certainly wouldn’t! Midges are accounted for earlier in the story.
