Well, from the 10 or so posts that I read, I couldn't see her taking the mickey.

I learned the Irish Language as a child, and being a northerner, with the obvious link to our brothers and sisters across the channel, it wasn't a difficult thing to understand Scots.
In fact, I did Celtic Studies in Uni, because I knew it was going to be a relatively easy subject; having had a fair amount of knowledge already of the 'P' Celtic languages, of which Irish, Scots, and Ulster Scots are a part of.

The 'Taking of the Mickey' is my only gripe.
