Glasgow Polis Story
Discussion
Old BiB story in I read in the Herald Diary.
Young polisman and some colleagues pile into a house where a family party has got out of hand. As he is going in the Sargeant and an other officer are hauling out a brawler. The sargeant instructs the officers to "just bring them aw in and Ah'll see yous back at the station". As ordered they arrest everyone in the house, cuff them and ship them off to the station in a fleet of vans.
Back at the station they have the custody suit packed with bodies waiting to be processed. The cells are full and the custody sargeant is phoning round other local stations looking for vacant cells to deal with the motley crew. At this point the original sargeant from the house appears and asks, as sargeants do, "what the f
k is going on here?"
"You said we were to jail them aw Sarge" explained the young BiB.
"Naw Ah didnae," replied the exasperated sargeant "Ah said I wanted yous tae JUST JAIL THE MAW ya daft bds".
Might help to be Scottish but the story made me laugh.

For those that might appreciate something of a similar vein, though in East coast twang ---
At the time we lived in a West Coast Highland village, where folk spoke a lot of Scottish dialects,from broad Scots /Glaswegian through to East coast from those who followed the herring and settled. The lady in question was one of the latter. At the time my sister & hubby were working abroad amid a tubulant political situation in that country when my parents met this lady. Talk got round to how my sister was getting on and myparents mentioned where she was ,with the addition of "there was a coup out there recently ". To which came the reply -"a coo,grand ,they'll get fresh milk ,then ".

Allow me to translate - I speak a little Scots.
"Will you have a cake, or a meringue"
In a Glaswegian accent would be:
"Will you have a cake, or am I wrong?"
Hence "Naw, yer right, I'll have a cake".
Funnier if you hear it rather than read it!

That's Glasgae.
For those that appreciate turning the tables, I've one tale from the wilds of Africa. Many moons ago I ended up in a small town on the Zimbabwean/South Africa border. Most of the whites were of Africaans descent and often broke into Africaans ,whilst the natives would revert to local lingo ,and us immigrants would be left wondering what was being said. Being so far from main base, our vehicles were serviced by a mobile mechanic, with his labourors. I moved to a from a Highland fishing village in my late youth where a lot of the folks are descended from east coast fisher folks ,so from an early age I spoke both English and East coast. The mechanic in charge came from theEast coast, and we delighted in having conversations in East Coast, where none of the locals ,white or local could understand us. And again , we had an electrician posted to our community, who came from south of Glasgow, about as far south of Glasgow as I used to live north of it, so we spoke ( or could) similar dialects, and we did, which caused the natives,and the Afrikaners great problems.
