      Because we had oppressed groups.

          Good news/bad news:

          Bad news -they're losing freedom of speech.

          Good news - nobody understands a bloody word they're saying anyway.

          I was only joking

                  As am I. They use those fancy knives to strategically shave their sheep, I believe.

                      Back in the 90’s I got to know a bunch of oil patch Scots from Grampian Region. With a bit of effort and nights of drinking I got to understand their brogue and expressions pretty well.

                        When I worked in the UK we used to go up to Aberdeen quite a bit - we ran training courses for Shell and others. It's surprising how quickly it all starts to make sense.

                                She's in Oz - permanently, from what I understand.

                                The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
