when i lived there..... they were always up by the main street ... near the train station... blowing on their pipes whilst wearing their skirts..... looking for a penny or two :rolleyes:

 

beautiful city tho... if it weren't for the weather up there... i'd probably still be living their. Oh and (NO OFFENCE) but the accent , especially the fellas in fife, boy oh boy... did i struggle understanding them.... I just used to sit and stare at them... in one ear.. mixed up in the middle, and straight out the other :duffer:

Ach away man, its the Glesga acent thats easy, and confusing, for example;

 

This is just magic...by the way....

 

The story is allegedly true.

 

The scene is a Glasgow court and a witness (a ned) is being questioned by a

rather plummy mouthed Advocate Depute (AD)

 

AD "You say you went to your friend house that night Why did you go there?"

 

WITNESS "Tae get a tap."

 

AD "Is your friend a plumber?"

 

WITNESS "Naw."

 

AD "Are you a plumber?"

 

WITNESS "Naw."

 

The witness is a bit bewildered by this line of questioning and the AD realises it, but notices that the court police officer is rubbing his fingers of one hand together in the universal gesture of money.

 

Daylight apparently dawns on the AD and he changes his line of questioning accordingly.

 

AD "So you went to the house to borrow money?"

 

WITNESS "Naw."

 

AD "Ah. You went to the house to lend money?"

 

WITNESS "Naw."

 

In exasperation the AD says, "You told the court you went to your friend's house for a tap. What kind of a tap was it?"

Brill, never heard it called that for yonks !!

 

Alan..............

Didn,t have many problems with the accent , the missisus,s dad,s from Glasgow now he is hard to understand :smash: .

Got to say Edinburgh is a great place and everyone were very friendly , i,d like to go again but only when it,s WARMER .

How the Scotts wear kilts in that weather i,ll never know :bow: :bow:

I'm from Glasgow, not FAE Glesga, lol.

 

Utterly despise the accent and bad English. I have two young boys at primary, and some of the rubbish they come home with disgusts me.

 

The teachers are fighting a losing battle. They want to teach good grammer, but without offending the kids who have grown up with such phrases as...

 

"Am urr" - (I am)

"Stoap it!" - (Stop it)

"Geezit" - (Give me it)

"How no!" - (why not?)

 

The list goes on, lol.

 

I'm not some sort of upper-class know-it-all, but the abuse of the English language really annoys me, and don't start me on the Murkins ;)

How the Scotts wear kilts in that weather i,ll never know :bow: :bow:

 

They're bloody roasting mate, I wore one for my brothers wedding in Edinburgh and I've never had so many women chasing me in my life when we hit town after :D :rofl:
