    eleven....eleven...

    Sorry gens,

    It’s stronger than myself. But for those who have not seen this video, I want to share it with them. It has nothing to do with the kilt but it happens somewhere in Scotland.

    Click on the link and enjoy…

    Thank you for that. One company I worked for in Dorset, England, used to call me in when they wanted to talk to one of their Scottish suppliers to make the call.
    If you are going to do it, do it in a kilt!

    I laugh at this on a regualr basis. Its not just lifts that have a problem with the scottish accent. The voice recognition systems in cars are a problem; the Kia range of cars are terrible, to the extent it is possible to see people shouting at and hitting their cars while trying to make a phone call using the in-car system, I know its not just me, I have proof. Trying to phone home, or as the nice Kia lady says "hyoooouummmmm" is particularly frustrating. She does not recognise the following:SevenNineEleven - of course she doesn'tA good number of my common contacts including for some reason "head office" are impossible for her to understand. I have given up programming site names into my phone book, she just says "cancel" to names such as Novar, Kilbraur Ford is better - just.That was a bit of an old geezer rant, wasn't it.

    Hilarious! It's made the rounds here a few times and always gets flagged by a Scrooge. Hopefully more people will get to enjoy it this time.
