Good to see this account!

I hope to hear from more old members of this group soon.

Having been part of the original AViator's group, I would once more volunteer to do 'voice overs' plays, sketches or powims

aviators sounds fun, but having a rather heavy glasgow(ish) accent i think it might be something to watch and listen to rather than record

No... Give it a try, accents make the world go round!


Having worked with a couple of Glaswegians, I would beg that you don't talk too fast!

having lived in Lancashire the past six years...
I've learned to slow down a little
but I still find i have to repeat myself quite often,
its even worse when I'm on the phone

*giggles*

When working for an Account, I once had to take a phone call from the Inland Revenue in Cumbernauld. I couldn't understand a word she said! Neither could my other two colleagues.

Just then, another colleague came back from lunch - a fellow Glaswegian. Well! The conversation (one sided) sounded like a foreign language! We'd never heard her talk that fast before!

She sorted the problem within 2 minutes, but their conversation lasted about 30 minutes.

we do have a habit of talking rather quickly not helped by the accent which can be difficult to understand at times I once got accused of sounding like rab c nesbitt which was the highest of insults I was twelve at the time and visiting england for the first time ever,

We asked our colleague if Russ Abbott was really saying anything when he seemed to be talking jibberish in a Scottish accent....

... She roared laughing, and, nodding with tears in her eyes, said 'Yes'!

well at least i don't drink so its not drunken scottish jibberish
although sometimes the different dialect words are a tad confusing
my favorate is "drooket"

I have never understood Rab C Nesbitt, sorry

it means soaked to the skin
it comes in very useful north of the border

Are they almost as rust coloured as those from Manchester?

must be,
when you have to invent a word for it you know it's bad

How very true

Oh great lil, I'll add you to the list. Was just about to redo it anyhow.

Thank you!

"I once got accused of sounding like rab c nesbitt which was the highest of insults" (Dr Anthea)

The most insulting thing about Rab C was that the BBC in England decided to show it with subtitles.

well we couldn't count on the little darlings to be able to understand the accent dear peet

Subtitles??

Lord, it's been so long since I've watched him, I didn't know
