The regional differences of English is far worse than American English Some Scots call everyone ken/say Ken after every sentence...imagine being American and faced with that North notts where I lived for 15 years call everyone Duck...sadly I picked that up too Not to mention the good old..is it a T-cake..barn cake..cob..bread roll argument Chips with bits in Huddersfield....chips with scraps most others Pretty much a Central Scotland this ‘Ken’ or Ken Like blarney King Neil (Stirling, Falkirk, Stenhousemuir) area - Edinburgh ones go ‘Aye’ incessantly after every line of chat especially if they have had a good few jugs aye 😉 Inverness has a very very clear accent indeed and the islands have their own distinct ones as well although everyone’s here is slightly different... Stranrear and the South West has a distinctly ‘deep’ drawl and Glasgow and the surrounding areas (Dumbarton, Greenock, Paisley, Ayr, Coatbridge, Airdrie and Cumbernauld) are very fast speakers and use the word ‘pure’ in a lot of it... Ma ex girlfriends from Dumbarton would say for example “I’m PURE hungover today” - “I’m feeling PURE sick” - “I’m PURE ragin at that bitch” etc etc ! However everyone 16 miles South (of here The Whisky Isle) in The North of Ireland sounds exactly the same from what I hear ! 😉 |

I remember when I first got up here 45 years ago:-
1/ I asked for Fish & Chips with bits to take away.
They looked at me as if I was speaking Double Dutch
2/ Same asking for a pint of bitter then, No chance. Only things on tap were either Tartan Special, McEwens Export or Tennets Lager. And you could have these "Tops", i.e a dash of lemonade in it!
Things are better now beer wise but Fish and Chips is a Fish Supper!

Aye - I fondly remember when Daddy was home from sea following him down to the local pub hoping for a nice bounty of KP Cheese & Onion crisps (yellow and green Norwich top style packets) and also in the bag bottles of Dunzade and Lime fizzy juice as well... All the pubs here had a big huge sign outside the door lit up with the products that you mention as well... Back then the only English voices you heard was all the men from The Esso Wolston or The Shell Director or The Shell Supplier tanker boats as they staggered back from (long gone) Abbotsford Hotel to their ships as we played down the pier... I don’t think they’d be a snowballs chance in hell of that happening nowadays as that was all back in The good old Seventies 1977 -78- 79 era ! |

Taggart was a brilliant police programme especially when ‘There’s been a Murrrrrrrderrr’ Mark McManus was in it ! I used to laugh in the episode where his sidekick said - “Sir - There’s been a murder up at Firhill” and Taggart quipped... ‘Ach it’s murder at Firhill every single Saturday’ (Patrick Thistle fans can testify to that in any witness box) ! 😉 |

I agree wholeheartedly, I just wondered why Canada's hadn't changed whilst Americans have. Could be all sorts of reasons I suppose; the demographic/ancestry of people living there; they kept their French and Scottish roots better; Commonwealth nation as you say. My late Auntie Isobel left The Whisky Isle, trained as a nurse and emigrated to Canada, met her hubby Mr J. Bird, had cousin Iain and Fiona and stayed there till the Big C took her in 1999... She came home from time to time but thankfully kept her Scottish accent thankfully (There are folks here who go on holiday to Canada and America for three weeks and come back with a new accent) ! Her ashes were scattered off ‘Granny’s Rock’ over above beautiful Kilchoman Beech in an East South East wind direction to line up to Canada 🇨🇦 Mr Bird soon found a new Bird who became Mrs Bird and Cousin Fiona wasn’t best pleased but I’m easy going and liberal and ‘life must go on’ is my mantra... As far as I know ‘Uncle’ John has also kicked the bucket however his remains stayed in Canada and the second wife probably got the lot (house and cash) hence Cousin Fiona being pure pissed off ! 😡 Brilliant, love your tales Westie Although I was more on about the furriers who went over in the 18th/19th century n basically made Canada a viable trading colony, a bit earlier than your Auntie Isobel (RIP) went 😂 |

Not so much the younger ones though they have a Gaelic college here and pump millions into it... Not sure of the Gaelic for Huddersfield but Town is ‘Bhaile’ (pronounced B-Al-EE) ! |

These annuals were always on ma Santa list in the 70’s - Left a dram and a carrot for him in the fireplace as well - The dram was empty (Granny Lack no doubt) and the carrot had a bit sliced off (no one I suspect) but great memories indeed... They were in The Sunday Post Paper Every week as well - I was nearly greetin if the ferry was cancelled on a Sunday as happened more often back then and no Broons or Oor Willie that week ! 😢 |

Worst up here in the north east, especially County Durham, is there's a massive number of lets say the lesser educated, who finish every sentence with "know what I mean" Drives you mad in the pub, you can here them say on the next table, and you dread the particular person joining the conversation again.
Fish and chips bugged me when I first arrived. You don't ask for them to eat now, as was the case in Lepton when I were a lad. It's open or wrapped up here. When they asked me, I used to look at the door and think, yep it says open, why the hell do you think I came in? Thing is, they'll even ask you after you've said, fish and chips to eat now please. They'll still ask open or wrapped?.
Don't even think about t-cakes, they're the ones with currants in, never heard of plain or brown t-cakes, anything else is a bloody bread bun, and what used to be a bun is Huddersfield, is a cake, or cupcake as some have gone USA. Anyway, as has been pointed out, rather off topic, so no more from me.

Giants need to be careful. They are currently only ranked 11th under the new guidelines, and if they slip out of the top 12 by this time next year they'll be relegated - no matter their league position. www.skysports.com/share/13238317 |

Just needs someone to put a bit of money behind York or Toulouse. Salford would be the first to fall, mind. But Fartown should definitely be looking over their shoulder. Saying that, this grading system will be the death of rugby league. If they brought it in for football it'd mean Town never playing in the Premier League (as well as about 20 other clubs who also managed to make it). London could've won absolutely everything this year and they'd still have been relegated. Just a joke. Similarly, 6 teams know they are safe no matter what, which just means a load of dead rubbers. A brain-dead decision. |

Ken Davy ain't stupid - he was chair of the Super League board until 2 years ago, the point at which the Giants apparently realised they needed to start looking to move! |

That might be 5 years away. Being a tenant at The Shay could only make things worse. Fartown benefit from Bradford remaining in the doldrums (and the ridiculous decision to commit to Odsal). But as I say, just needs a little bit of a benefactor to come in at Toulouse and York (possibly London) for them to start really sweating. |

A brain-dead decision. Is this just the evolution of the franchise system in RL? It’s the evolution of sport really, just people now focused on who has the biggest wallet and most attractive infrastructure so they can put on a good show. Football ain’t that far behind. I’m mid 50’s, I can see how people stop watching these things as they get older. It turns into a vanity project. |

‘IMG have a 12-year strategic partnership with Super League and the Rugby Football League to "reimagine Rugby League and its competitions in the UK".’
Reimagine it into not sport. For it to be sport, a team’s position needs to be decided on the field of play.

For it to be sport, a team’s position needs to be decided on the field of play. One team missed out on one full point (bear in mind the average number points across all clubs is around 10) because their media gantry was 40cm too small. And this is a ground that recently hosted a Challenge Cup semi final. Game's fucked. |

St. Johnstone used to play at Muirton Park on the Dunkeld Road, next to the ice rink, in Perth. They moved to new premises, MacDiarmaid Park, just off the Crieff Road. Anyway, enough about stadia.
On that same Crieff Road was an excellent fish and chip shop. One evening in the early Sixties I was sent by my Nana to buy our suppers. Stuck in the window, written on a paper bag, was an unforgettable poem, written in the spirit of the Dundee Bard MacGonagall, justifying a price hike.
"Like the Sputniks in the sky,
The price of tatties is sky high,
So, alas, our reply,
Your suppers will be dearer to buy."
