To girn means whine, often a child.
Girny, girning....

In the East Midlands that is to skrate!
And if you are mardy you are miserable and moody.

I think you will still have quite a restricted conversation thus far, with the Glesca Grannies, were you to join them ?

Ixion my thoughts too.
Perhaps I could continue with my Latin plan, and we could do it that way ?

I do speak in standard English when required!

It is only when I am excited or angry, that I drop my posh accent and lapse into Glasgow dialect. You wouldn't be able to understand a word of what I am saying.

A number of years ago, I was studying in Lyons and we were forbidden to speak any English at all. There were teachers on the course from all over Europe, who said that when my colleague and had a sneaky conversation in English, despite being fluent in English, they hadn't a clue what we were saying. They thought were speaking a foreign language.

I love accents! I only mentioned it because I recall you saying something about getting angry on the phone!

All of ‘my’ Eastern European kids spoke English with a Dudley accent
Eg ‘one, two, three, four, foive …’

A couple of years ago, I met a young woman who I taught English to from the age of 5 when she was a new arrival from Poland. I also taught her brother and sister English.
We recognised each other straight away, it was wonderful!
She told me that her brother was in the Army, her sister a nurse, and that she was doing A levels in Art, Biology and Sociology

I was sooo proud Mary! ?

For the meet up would it be reasonable to suggest everyone does a LFT before attending?

Absolutely, Espee! We will all be sitting quite close together.
I hadn't anticipated such a big response.

I agree Espee Sensible suggestion for us all to protect one another. There will certainly be a lot of non stop hot air circulating. ?

^Greetin’ faced crabbit wee besom^ -
the perfect description of someone I had the misfortune to work with many years ago. ??

You have only come across one???

You certainly don’t fit the type Marydoll but, my god, you can talk! A lot! ?

I have never done an LFT myself. Not exactly. Been poking the nose swab (previously the throat and nose swab) baton up my nose for months and months and months twice a week at work. All -ve.

That'll have to do if I come. Not buying any.

Someone else does the squish in fluid and drip onto the pregnancy test thingy, and logs it all online.

Just seen on another thread that LFTs will apparently still be free in Scotland. I still think twice a week should be enough (it's considered enough at work, which is among old people. Let me know if not and I won't come.

I was expecting a retort along the lines of, look who’s ‘talking’ ?

I wouldn't dare even if it is true! I was brought up to respect my elders!!! ?

I’m really looking forward to our meet up if this thread is anything to go by ! ? ?

Me too, Brook, I'm sure we'll have a great time.
I'm doing LFTs every day, for childcare/ church duties so I'm fine with that.

Baggs, the best LFTs come in the green box, 7 individually packaged complete sets. The tube comes with the liquid already measured in, peel off foil lid on top.
I much prefer those to the blue box, all bits and pieces. I pick up a box weekly from our local pharmacy.

The green ones are definitely the best. Our pharmacy gives you a box for each person in the household.
