We are now inhabitants of Kelty. What an interesting place.
Heh-heh, sniggered the guitarist. Locals look down on Kelty and you do the smart thing and buy a house there. One day you'll have the last laugh.
The pub has a nasty reputation, my hairdresser adds politely. But it's a big mix of people living there now.
Kelty? exclaims the secretary. My husband refuses to live there. What's wrong with an old mining village? I grew up in one meself!
So what if we live in the black sheep of villages? We like it, and we have a great new hoose. Kelty is situated right next to the highway and with rising prices in Edinburgh, it's become a popular commuter town.
It's right in the middle of beautiful rural Fife:
The last say goes to Marge, our neighbour.
Kelty used to be lovely little place, she snorts, except for all these ootsiders comin in, yoos ken.
Sorry, says my husband politely.
Not yoos, she adds disgustingly, ootsiders from Dunfermline!
Which is the big town 5 minutes away.

are you now the scottish version of ma-plotters?
Aie!
I know you most probably have never met Daantjie of Dainfern, but you punt his PRAAG. Who have the unfortunate headline:
>>>plak
‘Die swartman se voël veroorsaak hongersnood in Afrika’
>>>klaargeplak
This is very un-PC, even if the article apologises for the headline
Look for yourself

Oh my...part of me enjoys the reaction Praag gets with its un-Pc point of view, but another part cringes. Thanks. Will have a rethink.
