Just trying to imagine the chaos if Scotland and England were in separate time zones. grin

It is, of course, odds on that Scotland would change to driving on the right. grin

I would have to choose a day or two when my heid is working and yis dinna mind or ken me working with either baffies or backles, I can do it.

I like it when we move clocks forward , much quicker for to change all clocks . As I have a superstition about winding clocks back, so have to go all the way round and it takes forever .
Laugh !!

I remember aTV prog called "Parliamo Glesca" anybody else see that?

Charleygirl Mon 31-Mar-14 14:15:44

No I did not, it sounds interesting. One GN I believe puts on sub titles when watching Shetland. She is possibly not the only one.

The NI slang or sometimes normal speech is beyond me.
