  • I'm too far down south, in Fife. I can understand alot of what you say but not the completely different words. I might learn a wa bit for going to university in Aberdeen (furry boots city). Could be a laugh.
    If I had words to make a day for you,
    I'd sing you a morning golden and new.
    I would make this day last for all time,

    my Ex used to be a bus driver & did a regular run between Aberdeen & Carlisle
    one day the bus began to give out clouds of smoke & eventually gave up the ghost just outside of Aberdeen

    when the local mechanic arrived the first thing he asked my Ex's non-Scots co-driver was *'far's sh' reekin?'
    the poor guy was (understandably) absolutely mystified :o

    *where's she smoking?/from whence is the smoke issuing?
