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

              Good news/bad news:

              Bad news -they're losing freedom of speech.

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

              Made me think of this sketch:

              Link to video

              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.

              Elbows up!

                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.

                  Too bad Musical Princess isn't here to give us her perspective. Thought I saw on FB a while back that she got married, btw.

                    Because you can see Scotland from her house?

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