Comments by Keith and Dean on the wots my grammar like thread got me thinking.
Coming from a rural background in Aberdeenshire I was constantly told in school " could you repeat that in English please" this was back when there was a directive to schools to stamp out the use of the Scots language or in my case the Doric dialect.
I believe it is now being taught as a subject in some if not all schools like Gaelic is in the west coast. Personally I think this is good, local culture should not be forgotten.
I'm sure this must have happened in many other areas of the country? Or was it just me

Any recollections?
