Do you have a Scots accent?

No, I don't think so. Mix of fairly bland, confused, and
ex-east-end-of-London.

My brother lived in Dundee for quite a time, he was musical director at
the theatre there. He aquired a delightful Scottish brogue (not sure
what the other shoe was made of:-)

Ah. Auld Dundonian! Jings! He must sound like Oor Wullie! 8-]

I was much younger than he. He called me his favourite Tattiebogle" I
was inordinately pleased until I discovered what it meant.

I'll avoid stepping into that...

Alternatively, all the Aberdonians may have migrated south.

Yes. They all seem to be from the East of Scotland.

It's the posh bit... at least, they think so. :-)

Just as well that you included a complementary 'smilie'. :-)

However, you did make me give pause for thought in regard of which
spelling I'd have used in the above sentence. I swiftly concluded that
Jim's choice was the correct one. However, in view of my advanced years,
I thought it wouldn't hurt to check...

As for the typo in the subject line, that's so common an occurrence that
it rarely bears comment, especially when any possible confusion is
immediately cleared up in the first line of the post.

Sometimes, a typo in the subject line can be unusual enough to warrant
comment, especially when it introduces an element of comedy. The only
slightly interesting aspect of this accidental double strike of the "S"
key is the wonder of how only the first "S" was capitalised. :-)

Nope! It ought to have been "it's" since the context implies that you
meant the contraction of "it is". :-))

I regret to inform people that I've lived in Scotland for 30+ years. So
your hopes may be dashed. Alternatively, all the Aberdonians may have

Having just visited Aberdeen recently, I noticed the economy of some of
the dialect.

Instead of 'you know what I mean' being used after every sentence like
some do, it is shortened to 'ken'. Very much appreciated. ;-)

Sadly, I can't now make changes to the st-andrews pages as I 'retired'
about ten years ago. I'm still 'retired staff', and can use the library,
etc. But I don't now even have a uni email address. The main irony here
being that I can't even remove my old (now dead) email address from the
pages because access for working on the pages was tied to my old email
account passwords, etc.

What is it you want to know about inductors?

[1] The usual switch between 'their' and 'there' suggests a slapdash
attitude in the author's writing 'style'. The 'other way round' in this
case suggests a bit of 'over-thinking' on your part suggesting that you
were giving the task of writing this missive the thought it deserved ("If
a job's worth doing, it's worth doing well." sort of thing).
