    Strangest thing I find about meals up here in as David would call "Heathenland" is the difference in stovies. In majority of my life been in NE Scotland, stovies 2nd/3rd day mince wi tatties mashed in, served wi pickled beetroot and of COURSE oatcake. Yet elsewhere it can be corned beef and other items. In NE it was traditionally a way to mak food last longur.

    Anywun spik the doric wud be a treat fur mi, miss it a lot an cannae find a bettur wa tae express maesel :-)

    Fit like ma loon :D

    I don't speak it as a rule but I do understand it and once had to 'translate' a call from a man up that way that a colleague took :D spent my childhood years in that general sort of area :D

    I always thought the language was more descriptive, although I have always been taught to speak properly. We had two languages, proper English and Doric, my family were involved in a German research about language where it is believed both languages are seperate.
    Personaly I use "proper" English in day to day, but is Doric when spikin tae ma pals an faemily., find generic language too constricting, but needed to use when in general discussion.
    here is a whoop:

    A good outlook and as I have observed, true to how you see life. Others may find you offensive, but they are the blinkered ones. To be judgemental is to be bigotted. I wish I, and everyone could just see people and not segredation, our DNA is virtually identical and deep down we have the same loves/hopes/desires/concerns and all the other human feelings. We just need to have tolerance and think how others perceive us.

    Oi!! Stop me.am doing more than one rant a day!!

    :eek::eek:moi never they are just too uptight ;)
