Re: Poor On-Call this week
If you want real dialect weirdness, try the Kingdom of Fife. Not a county, a Kingdom. Goodness knows when Fife last had a king. Anyways, Fife is so full of nutty phrases, even their Scots neighbours are puzzled, so you can imagine my difficulties as an Englishman. A woman asked me "are ye courting this weather?" I eventually found out she was asking if I had a girlfriend. Perhaps she was trying to chat me up.
