... but this looks like a scary place to go for your newspaper.



I decided it probably wasn't a good idea to stop outside and pop in to ask if they had a Guardian.

If ordering fish and chips say " Pit a ingin in anaw " and don't ask for a " pie " that's very hard to understand!!

Right, that's been a whole five minutes since my original post so I assume Mr Beaton must be out on deck. wink

In Larkhall (An Independent Religious State within Scotland) That would be called a Premium Store!

Anyway, The Guardian would be too right wing for many in those areas!

Quite wrong sir, the correct term refers to ordering bridies...

"Geez twa plen bridies, an an ingin ane anaw"

Translated: "Give me two plain bridies, and an onion one also"


Or wee Jimmy being asked by his mither where the cake went:

"Eh et it aw" (zero consonants pronounced)

Translated: "I ate it all"


Here endeth today's lesson in Dundonian.

Not due away 'til the mora Eric, but I'm honoured you thought of me (I think) LOL

Now, what I need to know is what the hell were you doing in deepest darkest Linlathen - is that the shop on Glenconnor?

Did you get lost coming out of Morrisons? biggrin

Yeah you got it. We were down at St Andrews for Christmas so, on my way to the Tay Bridge, I nipped in to Morrisons for an ingin bridie and a Guardian. wink

That's been doing the rounds for a few years but always funny no matter how many times I see it.

If this amuses you check out the new Asterix and the Pects book.

The Gauls are weegie, the Picts speak Doric and the Romans speak with a Dundee accent. One of the centurions is called Ingananeneus. Clever stuff.

Daily Mince link below sums it up well.

My local shop where I used to live in Edinburgh looked similar to that. It was actually a pretty good shop. Sometimes I even risked parking outside it.
