The Doric Express

News EN ↓ 1112 episodes

OK here's how this works loons and quines. I currently BUY a Press and Journal every day. So you don't have to. You're already ahead by £2.10 a day! I read out some of the stories in it, in my own dialect, which is doric, the language of the NE of Scotland. The stories could be about anything that catches my eye. Local stories from Aberdeen or Aberdeenshire. Except Maud and Lumphanan as nothing ever happens in those places. Stories from the UK. London, Norwich, Alnwick or other villages like that. Stories from around the world, Australia, Canada, United States etc. Listen. Enjoy. Subscribe!
