hello everbody and welcome back

Hi everyone,
Welcome to this new year. I hope you'll enjoy yourselves and learn loads of stuff. To begin with, a short but hilarious video clip on the Scottish accent and its consequences. Just in case you find it a bit hard to follow (I wouldn't be surprised) I have included the scrip for a bit of help. Have fun!!!


-Where’s the buttons?
- Oh, no, they’ve installed voice recognition technology in this lift to help us.
-Voice recognition technology? In a lift? In Scotland? (Have) you ever tried voice recognition technology?
-No
-They don’t do Scottish accents
-Eleven
-Could you please repeat that?
-Eleven, eleven
-Eleven,
- Could you please repeat that?
-Eleven
-Whose idea was this? You need to try an American accent. Eleven, eleven
-That sounds Irish, not American
-It does, doesn’t’ it? Eleven
-Where in America is that? Dublin?
-I’m sorry, Could you please repeat that?
-Try an English accent, right? Eleven, eleven
-You are from the same part of England as Dick Van Dyke?
-Use yours then, smart arse.
-Please speak slowly and clearly
-Smart arse
-Eleven
-I’m sorry, could you please repeat that?
-Eleven. If you don’t understand the lingo away back came to your own country
-Is that talk now is it away back to your own country
-Oh, don’t start, Mr bleeding Haho, how can you be racist to a lift?
-Please speak slowly and clearly
-Eleven, eleven, eleven, eleven
-You are just saying it the same way!!!!
-I’m going to keep saying it until it understands Scottish, all right?
-Eleven eleven, eleven, eleven
-Well, just take us anywhere, you cow, just open the doors!!!
-This is a voice activated elevator. Please state which floor you would like to go to in a clear and calm manner
-Calm, calm. Where’s that coming from? Why is it telling people to be calm?
-Because if they knew they´d be selling it to Scottish people they would be going on for nuts at it!!!
-You have not selected a floor
-Aye, we have, eleven!!!!!!
-If you would like to get out of the elevator without selecting a floor, simply say: “Open the doors, please”
-Please, please, suck my willy
- Maybe you should just say please?
-I’m not begging that for nothing
-Open the doors, please
-Please. Pathetic
-Please, remain calm.
-Wait until I get up there. Just wait for it to speak
-You have not selected a floor.
-Up yours, you cow!!!!. You don’t want to turn these doors? I’m gonna come to America, I’m gonna find wherever desperate actress gave you a voice and I’m gonna go in an electric chair for you!!!
-Scotland, you bastards!!!!!!
_Scotland, Scotland, Scotland, Freedom, freedom…..Going up?
