Hi Paul
I find Chewing the fat really funny, in fact I find most scotish comedy lot better than english stuff like Little Briton or Catherine Tate..I'm proud to say I've got all the Still Game d.v.d.s including the live stage show.
I grew up watching Naked Video..one of the best sketch show's ever I.m.h.o. as well as Rab C Nesbitt
& never had any trouble understanding his accent.
I work with two Scottish women, & often have to ask them what some of the Scott's slang means, you should of seen Alisons face when I asked her what the meanings of "Fudd" & "Fandan" where
Any one know if another series of Still Game is on the cards? I miss Jack & Victor, good news that Fags,mags & bags has got a 3rd run on radio 4

Mate I haven't laughed so hard in a long time!!!!! The Rab C accent is very west coast. Those of us on the East coast have a softer accent, but we stil roll our "R's" Murrrrrrrder as I am often asked to say while in England!

Ahhh! Thats the one! Thanks Annie - I love it.
"If it's outside Yorkshire it's not worth visiting". You'd not believe how true that is to some folk around here. I work in Barnsley, and some of them refer to Sheffield (15 miles away) as "down South". When i moved here I got a lot of resentment from some folks as I was "more Northern" (I'm originally from Darlington!). Unbelievable!

I'm sure Eddie will remember that last summer I was rather excited that we were going to Teignmouth - which is in the next county and everything
