    No problem. It looks like whoever transcribed these episodes wasn’t a Scot though. There’s quite a few mispronunciations. Jean’s pronouncing of Earl Street has become Errol Street for example.
    Ha! They like to roll their "r"s round here, so I can see how that would happen.

    I always enjoy it when my sat-nav mispronounces Scottish place names.

    Milngavie is a belter!

    It’s a pity that we don’t have a map with these locations on. I can get lost where I live so in Scotland…
    Well, I'm familiar with these streets, but am befuddled by what "the other side" could mean in this context!

    Cobalt's suggestion that he could have been referring to the southside is a distinct possibility.

    Thanks Herlock!

    That's kind of you.

    I'll have a look and see if I can save them.

    Btw, did you see my post 89? There are transcripts of the podcasts although you can’t copy and past them. I’ve screenshotted them though and have them all in a folder. If you can’t access them for any reason it shouldn’t be a problem to send them to you.
    Thanks Herlock!
