Page 58 One to 1 Hullo anyone. I'm writing as a very intellectual nutcase from Scotland, to complain about those strange creatures called DJs. I'd like to complain about Mike Read foremostly. This "man" repeatedly attempts to master what he calls his Scottish accent. This is rubbish. His "accent" may pass as an English-sounding Glaswegian, but Fife, Lothian, Aberdeenshire etc. are on the map too, and Glaswegian is as it says and does not sound the same as that of an Aberdonian. So, all you English wimps - shut up or else! I might set my tartan hairy haggis on you and the whole of No.1's staff too, and he gets very violent when aroused. Aye, an' if ye thocht this wis a joke, ye'll be doon the loo in nae time, and I'll be drooning you in it! (wi' the water from the pipes like...oh crumbs). Eileen Gayton, Fife. Hmmmmm. We suppose this letter will have to suffice as the Big Country interview this week. |
