No, no I appreciate exactly why you asked her. Michael Send a noteboard - 04/03/2010 09:37:28 PM
Makes perfect sense to ask a native. But as a west coast Scot, it amuses me greatly that there do not seem to be any Scots in Edinburgh. My sister works over there and shortly after arrival in the hospital she toils at, she had to announce "I am not going to apologise for having a Scottish accent in Edinburgh!".

No criticism intended. I can't help you because I sleep on my sister's couch when I'm through there and I don't think she's taking any other lodgers
The Monday Cafe - open when I damn well feel like it

I blame Alric
