I love writing about people and I came across the following in a chat with a friend. A chap from the south of England was engaged to a Glasgow lassie and went north to visit his new proposed in-laws. It was all right when they talked to him one on one but when they got together, he couldn't understand a word. As he stood at the edge of the group his fiance came to make sure he was all right. 'You didn't tell me you had a twin sister,' he complained.
'Twin sister?'
'She was talking to your Dad just now,' he pointed out.
'That wasn't a sister, that was me,' his fiance told him.
The moral is, learn the language before you go to Glasgow, snow awfa hard, or in other words, it's not awfully hard.
Oakhaven may be in England but it is about people.
