Only true Invernessians can pronounce words such as butter or water without ever involving the letter T.

Only the Queen actually speaks Queens English.

The queen speaks affected posh gibberish with even more amazingly corrupted vowel sounds than Inverness. I suspect that particular blend of plummy accent is an offshoot of the bastardised English pronunciation of her many German and Danish relatives who have piled in here to freeload in a constant stream since 1714..

Given that they enjoy massive wealth, privilege and, inexplicably, deference simply on the strength of their ancestors having been more unscrupulous thugs than ours were, and that even that ancestry is highly dubious due to the  royal sport of sleeping around indescriminately..... no I'm not.  :003:

Overheard at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, A & E Dept, 8am on a Sunday - from an overnight cubicle:

Best Inverness accent 'Nurse, nurse, I need a bot-ill!'  'Billy, be quite!' ' But nurse I do!' 'Billy!!!'  'Nurse make it a bot-ill of Glen Grant!'

We all fell about laughing despite our sore bits.  Then Billy to nurse 'How's yer murrer, Jean?'  Nurse 'Not too bad Billy'. 'Do you get home much?'  'Not really'  'Gees, I miss the Gilleons, do you Jean?'  'Not really, Billy' 'But you don't go the dram like me, Jean'  Silence for a wee while,

'Jean, can I get money for a taxi?'  'Billy, if I give you money for a taxi you'd spend it on drink!'  'Jean, you're right, you can see straight through me'

Exit one happy soberish, drunk. Made us all happy and me proud of him.  Strong Inverness accent, no badness, no swear words, just a need for a drop more water of life.  This lightened up the A & E for us all.

   

If I remember correctly Billy stayed on Druid Road, don't know which part of Inverness Jean, or to be more correct 'her murrer' came from.

Actually as a Nairnite with no letter T, when I went down to Glasgow Uni, people thought I was from Devon  :010:

As ex colleague in Post Office Telephones (prior to B.T.) and former Jags stalwart in the late 50's Rolland MacKenzie used to say'' Fukeeen seek o' it!'' some of our older users may remember Rolland as a pianist/ organist in a dance band which included laurel Avenue resident Charlie Masson on guitar. Unfortunately Rolland is no longer with us.
