Hello there Dave! I went to Edinburgh University (also decades ago) and worked in the Royal Infirmary there each summer. I soon got used to being called 'hain'. I then obtained my first teaching post in Bruntsfield (quite a posh district of Edinburgh) and had to remember when giving a spelling test, to pronounce things in the Scottish way. In English, pearl, girl and furl rhyme. But it's 'perril' 'girril' and 'furrel' up there. I ended up with a very posh 'Miss Jean Brodie' accent. Then I moved to Glasgae!! Oh dear, I had to learn fast! After a few weeks, I was broad Glasgae to the core. I lived in a flat in 'Pairtick' so I had the very best of neighbours to teach me!
