In their latest attempt to ensure that customers can't understand WTF the Customer Service Center in India is saying....Dell decides to improve their service by relocating to Scotland.
"Ello, whit dae ye want tae ken hen? Right ye are - ye want tae see whot's wron whit ye compoooter, dae ye? Wi' nane o' yer exaggerated scrievin', mind! If I'm gonnae help ya dae it, i'll dae it richt. Ye'll unnerstaun' that. I'll no' use ony o' thae Scots words that naebuddy kens. I'll jist keep it tae the wye we spik. So spik up - whit dae ye want tae ken? "
Linda: Really Linda this kind of cheap humour really, really will not do. It lets you down, it lets your blog down and, to be blunt, it lets your friends down. To add insult to injury your attempt at transliterating a broad Scots accent are in many respects woefully inadequate, e.g 'spik' for 'speak' is just ridiculous. I could go on but do not care to.

PS - I took the above paragraph down at dictation-speed over the phone from jwer! :-)
jwer - hope this ok. At some points you were speaking a bit fast and the line was not brilliant
Campbell: It's "spik" and you know it. See - that's the thing about blogs - they are yours to post whatever you like. If you had your own for instance, you could ridicule us Amurikenz, and give jwer that southern accent you seem to want him to have (what's with that anyway?).
Boy, are YOU asking for it...
