If you spent a penny you got a bag   (Poke covers a lot of things in Scotland. There's an ice cream poke which is a cone. And there's also a poke of chips, which is a folded newspaper full of potato chips. There's also different kinds of paper pokes. That's over and above the kind of poke you give to someone you don't like with your digit!)
