REAL SCOTS

We held a round-table competi- tion the other evening (writes a correspondent), the test being the production of samples of laconic conversation. The following was easily the most successful entry.

It is a conversation, in Scots dialect, between a merchant and a woman about to buy woollen gooda :-

She--Oo'?

:

He-Ay, oo'. She-A' oo"? H-Ay, 'oo'. She--A' ne oo*? He-Aye, a' se oo".

The competitor translated his. entry as follows:-The lady wish- ed to know whether the garment was of wool, whether it was all wool, and whether it was all of one wool,

FINISHED!

Here is an example of the Inconic style which occurred in a xeries of official messages,

According to a popular Air·· Force legend, they were dispatch- ed by wireless to the Air Ministry from an R.A.F-base, when a new seaplane was being handed over to Finland.

The messages ran as follows:- 1231-Finnish seaplane up. 12.33-Finnish asaplane down. 12.36--Finish, Finnish seaplane. That told the whole story of the disaster.
