Serious head < There are as many variants on the Scottish accent as there are on the English accent> end of serious mode

I know. But they are all Scottish  cussing:


TBH I have never had any problem understanding them ~ perhaps because my maternal Grandfather's family hailed from Inverness or perhaps because I met so many in the RAF. Like the Welsh they do have some ranting nationalists among them but the majority are pleasant enough people and they do make grand Chief Engineers ~ see any wartime movie involving ships and Star Trek of course.
What I dislike about Scotland is that it has always been so f*cking cold and wet whenever I have been there.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

We got longhorns in Surrey, just down the road from here, though not for much longer.

Grand wee beasties for keeping the gorse and heather under control. B@st@rd things will eat almost anything actually and can be left out in all weathers. Useful animal taken all in all. Taste good too.

The same can be said of women  whistle:

My knowledge of Scottish geography is sketchy. I know I am flying to Glasgow on June 8th, so I booked the hotel I stayed in last time  cloud9:

I now find I have to go to GREENOCK!! Looked at a map.  eeek:

40 minute train ride at least, which means being on the train at about fooking 7.30 in the morning and then Greenock to fooking Edinburgh on the train later. Have you seen how far Edinburgh is from Greenock?  Opposite fooking coast FFS  Angry9:

Indeed Coast to Coast but then Scotland is not very wide at that point.

Greenock to Edinburgh is about 70 miles
Glasgow to Edinburgh is about 45 miles

Why not book into a hotel in Greenock and cancel the Glasgow booking then you would not have to start out from the wrong place?  angel1

SWWLTBO grew up in Dunblane (See Stirling on the map) and knows Scotland well ~ you could always ask. whistle:
