Subject: RE: When ah wis young
Like you Wee John , I read"Wee McGreegor" in the Evening Times when it was reprinted in the 1950's.I bought a book of the stories ten years ago on holiday in Scotland.When I brought it back to Australia I had difficulty reading it aloud to the weans as we had never been in the habit of reading to others in our own style of speech.It was frowned upon at school as "improper".We had totally different ways of speaking to the teacher and talking to mates. Thanks for that John.My own book has long since fallen to bits from being read and reread.How aboot giein us some mair?
