Reminds me of Southern tourists in Aberdeen in the "Glasgow Fortnight" as it was known by Aberdonians in the 50s

You could always tell them. They all had "Teach Yourself Doric" books and " The Patter/ Doric Dictionaries"

I have yet to see any Central Belt comedian on TV master either the dialect or accent

Nice. Did you give them a print?

Doric is a mystery to me, but I love it. I can remember back when I was a child a lifetime ago, Burntisland Games Day, on the first Monday of the Fife Fair, buses and trains from Glasgow would offload their passengers in Burntisland, and hundreds of Glaswegians would descend on the town. It still happens today, as you can see from this photograph, but not in the same numbers. The opening of the railway from the Forth Bridge from the late 19th Century transformed the Fife coastal towns.

They gave me an email address. I sent a scan, with the offer of a print. They liked the scan but didn't seem to want a print. In situations like this I always offer a print. Stefan
