that must be the longest stretch of road in Dundee without a feckin roundabout, sorry CIRCLE on it............
Might have been attacked by a wasp Ian, although as you say looks like the McEwans.! There's some weird things can happen on the Highways. A lad who worked on Rotherham Highways was once telling me about a bonus they were promised for planting out some tulip bulbs on the roundabouts on the dual carriageway on the way into town from the M1. At the last minute they were informed that the bonus had been under discussion and would not be paid. When the tulips bloomed he received a call from the observer at South Yorkshire Police Helicopter unit to say that the message TIGHT TW*TS could be seen spelled out in flowers from the air. He has to muster teams to go out and pull them all up and replant them, so it ended up costing the Council as much as it would have done if they'd have paid the bonus in the first place.
I had dealings with a kitchen manufacturer in Dundee, JTC Manufacturing. I'm sure when I was up that way once, we went for a jar in Drouthies. Is it on the Perth Road Ian.?
This correct my friend. Quite a few good pubs coming down the Perth Road into town. It's the Student / Uni area. Leading down to the Cultural Quarter. I know that may be hard to believe.
That's the one. Nice pint. Do you ken reminds me of my old workmate Alex Goodall. Him and his missus were from Lochgelly Fife and when they were talking together you didn't have a clue what they were on about. They were always saying "do you ken." At one family get together Alex asked me to put a record on the gram and Peggy said to Alex " it's no connecit." They were both laughing when I asked what they meant. Another time we were going in to work in torrential rain and the car behind had his full beams on. Alex kept saying " how many ligst does he hae on behind twa' ?" He must have asked me the same question four times when his son Alan who was in the back said " he's saying how many lights does he have on behind , two.?" He could have been talking Urdu to me, I could never understand what he was saying.! Great bloke though. They moved into our street in Donny in the 60's and were great folks.
Aye the Fife accent is something else mate. But TBF I have a little trouble when convercing with anyone with a broad Barnsley accent. Takes a bit to get used to. Loved this.
Excellent mate. You're right about the Barnsley accent as well, it's unique. My wife's folks are from Wombwell and Kendray and when we get together for a family do , I've all on to properly understand them and I was born in Donny.!
