My husband only watches Taggart so he can join in with 'thurrrs bin anuthurrrrrrrr murrrrrrrrrrrrdurrrrrrrrrrrr, sirrrrrrrrrrr'. I have just been listening to Kerry Shale reading Bill Bryson's 'notes from a small island' in which he does Bill trying to understand people in a pub in the Gorbals. 'Dinna ken ynooooo' it's hilarious! nell Oh, what with Taggart, and Rebus and Isobel from the Sunday Philosopher's club, Scotland are certainly providing their share of murrrrrrrrrrdurrrrrrrrrrrrrrs. nell
