Matty - Check your spelling - seize = to grasp.to capture

- siege = the surrounding of a fortified place to cut off supplies

I did get a laugh from this mistake !! - 'fraid I can't help with the info: on Scotland - maybe Andy can!

depends how abusive you are to an observer -

lighthearted banter - ok

cheeky backchat - warning

sweary word - thrown over the hedge followed by your bike

sweary 'f' words and questioning parentage of observer - thrown over the hedge and bike seized and stripped down for spares for the boys

physical violence - bike seized stripped down, and you hung, drawn and quartered - we still remember 1305 up here.

If you want to keep things authentic then, you can just grass them up, send 'em down here and we'll do the rest

if you were to be practising illegally say and "causing offence" then section 59 of the police reform act (2003???) might also apply in Scotland (it does in england and wales), which upon your second warning allows the police to seize your bike

sorry Scottish law isn't my strongpoint
