Wee Glesca wumman goes intae a butchershop, where the butcher has just

came oot the freezer, and is standing haunds ahint his back, with his

rear end aimed at an electric fire.

The wee wumman checks oot the display case then asks, "Is that yer

Ayrshire bacon?"

"Naw," replies the butcher. "It's jist ma haun's Ah'm heatin'."

This was sent to me today and if you know the Glaswegian accent and can read it using the accent in your mind's eye, you'll undertsand it!   I'm English & I can!

ROFL!!! :D

*Shoots the craw tae' Teri's Hoose,Chappits oan the Windaes*
"Teri!Teri! whits yon Christine blethering aboot???"

(the only one that got me was Peely-Wally??? whats that??? its a great word tho' hope its not rude!!)
                         :D

Peely-Wally best described as the typical Scottish inhabitant who is very white skinned and doesn't tan!

LOL! Peely-wally was the one one I did understand! Perhaps being a southerner helps?! :D

Me too! Ah, peely wally that brings back memories! (my dad was a scot and then an honorary southerner!) And the wee beasties... :D

When I was living in Lossiemouth 'wee beasties' were headlice. Are they still called that?

Well I'm English and got through most of it - took me a while to get FITBA! but got there in the end!

Love it! Understood every word :) Just like being at home! And I'm not even Scottish :D

Brilliant, took me back to my childhood born and bred in Glasgow," now doon the watter in Ayrshire" LOL!!!!  Still use a lot of the phrases, especially Aufurfuksake when angry !!!!!

Ye go tae Saltcoats cos ye think it is like gaun tae the ocean

Oh Naw...ya mein it isnae????

:D

I'm American and I understand it. Guess living with Geordies teaches you something.

flamin brilliant!!!! :D  i heard that on the radio a while back but the only one i could rememer was the chips/nappies/fags etc in the one shop.

:D :D :D

I'm a Geordie by birth, so I'm halfway there, and I understood (and laughed at) every single one of these - brilliant Christine :D

Brilliant :-D  I was born in Stirling and the majority of my family still live there- Mum and Dad moved here with me when I was about 7 so I don't have the accent- will print it off though for my Mum :-) 

Marguerite- you're not the only one who uses the 'Aufurfuksake' phrase- when my older bitch was going through her teenager stage and pretended she didn't know what recall was- I shouted that on a few occasions in frustration at her - funny thing is though she knew I meant business and returned to me :-D

My family are from Dundee and at Xmas we got "OOR Wullie" and "The Broons" annuals and read the Sunday Post cartoon strips every week.
Mum now lives round the corner from me in L'pool and I still pick up the Sunday Post on my way home from work each week.

You've just brought back some very happy memories for me Rhodap :) My granny always used to get the Sunday Post and I loved reading The Brrons and Oor Wullie :) Happy days!
