Last year I enjoyed taking note of one thing I noticed every day. I thought I’d keep it going & thought I might record it as part of my almost defunct microcast. I’d have liked to add a soundbed to hid the traffic outside my living room, but time & talent held me back. https://johnjohnston.info/blog/wp-co... johnjohnston.info

@johnjohnston That was fantastic! Also to hear your voice. When I read your words I hear them in my own accent; now I know better. 😆 What part of Scotland is your accent from?

@johnjohnston Ah, thank you. One feature I noticed that I've also heard on the TV show Shetland is that sometimes the s is more like an sh — for example, when you said "twenty-first". I'm always so fascinated by language, words, pronunciations. 😁

@Miraz you might be interested. I think the only character in Shetland with a Shetland accent is Sandy. Way back Brian Cox made a fuss because he really worked on the accent and was asked to re record!

@johnjohnston Indeed, interesting. Thanks.
