The islands were given to Scotland as a wedding gift a few centuries back when a Norwegian princess married a Scottish king. True but at least I can be understand their 'Norwegian'!  I'm happy to get rid of all politicians and go for direct democracy but I fear that the decisions would be just as poor but at least we would save on the 'benefits' that the politicians cost the taxpayer e.g. Fat pensions, early retirement if they are so incompetent they dont get re-elected, expenses and perks. The list is almost endless!

Direct democracy could only work in small communities! Expensive though they are, the politicians are cheaper than fixing the chaos of DD society would be. So, you reckon you can understand Shetland dialect, do you?!! Hahaaaaa...  Good luck, there, because I struggle with some of their accents.

Aye, but you are a Lowlander sassenach! You forget I lived in and around Dundee for four years. They speak like chawing a brick!

A sassenach is an English person ie you! And I grew up in the NE where the dialect there makes Dundee sound positively well-spoken - and Shetland is worse!

I think the Peterhead, Banff, Macduff accent is much nicer than the Dundee one. Well I dont care what your accent is, I can understand most of them.
