Mancunians, Scousers, Geordies etc.

Hello everybody!

Would love to learn some more names for people living in different pasts of the UK. Those you can't really make out judging simply by the name of the town (e.g. Londoners, Aberdonians, Glaswegians etc.) Really looking forward to know how the inhabitants of Edinburgh name themselves...

That's what I've got already:

Brummies,
Mancunians,
Scousers,
Geordies,
Pompeys,
Taffies,
Paddies,
Cockneys.

Thanks in advance!
