I think that the lady was asking where her family originated from. I think that is a genuine question, maybe not the time nor the place but it is hardly a major issue.
I've just looked at this for the first time in 2 days...and, coincidentally, have just downloaded a book whose title character is named Shuggie.
I think Douglas is quite funny...just putting my 2 cents in.
Thanks, Douglas and GG. I've heard Weegie as many folk from Glasgow came down to Corby. I don't know how many of you have heard the Corby accent. Hasn't quite become Scottish but in the next generation the twang is there which makes it very recognisable. My Irish family in Corby sound more Scottish than Irish. :-)

I pronounce the first "H" in "Hugh" and "huge" for example, similar to a "ch" sound (as in "loch") so it's a short step to a "sh" sound and "shug".
