Well, this is me back again in Carluke.  I’ve just taken a bus intae the toon (Glesca), it’s 1957 an upstairs there’s this guy wi a uniform asking for money.  Says he’s the clippie. 

I just handed him 50 zonks.

Know whit he did? He grabbed hud ae ma jaikit  and asked me to board the very same bus and remove myself at wan and the the same time! 

He said: “Right you: come oan get aff!” 

 
One of your tutors, the very douce Mr. Bell, has asked me to try oot ony new Scots words on yous to see if yous know them as well. 

Ah’ve pit them aw in the wan sentence an here goes:

 

Ma bidie-in skelt hunners a tea draps in the scullery.  She had tae redd the whole wee bit wi a cloot!"
