"I have been but little in," said Ninian hastily...

I heard this piece about Scots today on the radio in the car.

And I smiled all the way home, thinking, "For the next year, maybe more, I get to hear people like this every day."

It really made me very happy.

redactrice always used to make fun of my mock Welsh accent because she said it was just like my mock Indian accent. *I* could always tell the difference!

But I was watching 'Ashes to Ashes' the other night, and an Indian shopkeer describing some masked robbers says "they weren’t Welsh". How could he tell they weren't Welsh?", he's asked. Because "Welsh people sound like they’re from Calcutta," he says.

Yes! Vindication! :-)
