    Celtic Culinary Languages

    I was stopped yesterday by an old lady who wanted to tell me how much she admired my kilt. We spent about 20 minutes chatting about all things Scottish when she asked me: "So, is garlic a difficult language to learn?".

    I had to make an excuse and get away before I burst out laughing.

    At least she pronounced the 'a' correctly for the Scottish celtic language. As to the 'r', if I had a pound note for every supposed RP speaking BBC correspondent who says 'Indiar' for India, I could retire.

    It's all those Massachusians' fault - every time they talk about driving their "ca's", an extra R drifts across the Atlantic and finds a place at the end of a different word!
