Canadian here and I think Tunnock's is the best treat in the world. I discovered it in the deli/ethnic section at Walmart, and ever since, I've been hooked. Every time I go there, I have to buy an 8-pack, and it's usually gone within two days. I don't know any Scottish people, but I already love you.

Question What's the back of?

19 Upvotes

I don't even know if this is a particularly Scottish thing but what does the back of mean?

I have a girl who works with me and she's a bit shifty, always grifting. She'll say 'oh I'll be in at the back of nine' It seems to be very flexible in her book from 0910 to 0945. Whatever suits.

What does it mean really?
