I'm not sure it's Scots. What about Geordie? Or don't Geordie's say dinnae ken? You sound a bit like my Banffshire neighbour. We have so many of each though their dialects have probably hybridised ;D

Well me and Eileen are 40 odds miles apart. Will run it a bit longer. I am not a Fifer, or from Aiberdeen either. Certainly not from the West Coast either. Bloomin' cheek saying 'loony bin'. could say more to that, but won't. I have some dignity.

Onywy, you lot frae doon sooth, try sum mair.
