The disadvantage is that people in Scotland often think I'm from the South of England when, in fact, I'm a Northerner. The one exception was when I was in New Zealand when apparently I fell easily into many of the New Zealand words quite unknowingly. I still apparently have an unconscious habit of saying 'yis' occasionally.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-42732661026500968032021-05-11T10:54:14.139+01:002021-05-11T10:54:14.139+01:00Darling picture of Boo-boo.
