Back to old pronunciations... sorry!

My granny would often take the train to Ellensburgh for a day out.

Yes. Pretty common, and the bane of a work colleague (called, obviously, Margaret)'s life.

Ellensburgh, nice one. :D

My gran often went down to the local hardware shop to buy a Paddylock and on the way home pop into the Libary.

My Edinburgh based (and very good) friend Kei Taniguchi has just relayed a highly entertaining tale on the pronunciation theme.

Picture the scene .. sat on a bus, on the seat in front two old ladies chatting away like they do...

"So, why are you going intae toon?"

"Oh, I huf tae pick up some things for tea."

"What were you havin'?"

"Chips an' cheese wi' sushi."

Chips an' cheese wi' sushi? That's a bit weird eh?

"I know, but its what He wants. I asked him on the phone what he wanted for his tea an' he said Chips an' cheese wi' sushi."

Wow. I wouldnae have thought your John would even know wit sushi wis!

"I know! But that's what he asked fur."

Is that really what he asked fur? Chips an' cheese wi' sushi?

"That's whit he said."

Did he maybe say sushi, cheese an' chips?

"Might have been. Whit difference does that make?"

"Well .. sushi, cheese and chips might huv been Sausages an' chips?"

:D
I like him ... He says "Okie Dokie!"

I've got the verandah door open and just heard two lassies talking about one of their wee boys as they walked past.

Lassie 1: "You know wit he done last night?"

Lassie 2: "Wit?"

Lassie 1: "He went tae his bed and sneaked his chocolate rabbit in wi' him. Woke up this mornin' and there wis chocolate everywhere. It wis like somethin' oot o' Trainspottin'."

Now, that was funny enough, but then lassie 2 said "What a boay, eh? If he hud a brain, he'd take it oot and play with it." :D
