"The Scots, A nation of cultural ghosts" - What sa

[Shutpa]

Could care less about Gaelic, It's only the north and west that have any interest in it, we (Location: Lanarkshire)speak Doric round here.

I thought Doric was spoken around Aberdeen/shire???

One other point, why did you do a Mickey Mouse degree in a red brick uni, no doubt!! Were you not intelligent enough for a proper degree course like Law??

At no point on in this thread or indeed on this board the internet in general or real life, have I ever claimed to hold a degree or even been to university.

Could you clarify the above Richard 3?

I thought Doric was an ancient Greek architectural style. Perhaps some Scots are distant descendants of Greeks!

Hey! Several 'red brick' universities are members of the Russell Group and some departments in them are actually rated more highly than the equivalents in Oxbridge.

Some believe it was named after a Greek Language.

If you think that's bad you should try Doric.....I have lived here most of my life and speak toonser Doric but have no idea what some of the boys out in the sticks are on about.
