It took me aa ma time nae ti lach.apos; The Humour of the North-east is found at less celebrated levels too. There is the tale of the middle-aged couple who had courted each other for almost thirty years, but had never got round to marriage. One day Jock decided to voice his thoughts on the matter, for he was worried that people were speaking about their phenomenally long relationship. apos;Jean,apos; Is it nae time the twaoapos;s were thinkinapos; aboot getting mairrit?apos; apos;Behave yersel, Jock,apos; said Jean. apos;Fa wid hae ony oapos;s noo?apos; The humour and dialect of the North-east forms a unique and hilarious blend.
