Broons Sauce
Unlike yin i Carrier's contrived efforts, this is a genuine page fi last year's Broon's annual. Ah canny make up my mind if this is a slur on Bo'ness, or a personal attack oan somebody cried Rab, from Bo'ness, or a compliment by including us in such a revered publication. Personally, ah canny think i anybody cried Rab from Bo'ness that wid dae such a thing. No, really.
It indeed canny be a Bo'ness felly thit is the site manager, is the health & safety standards are no up ti scratch. Lack of welfare facilities, lack of edge protection oan the scaffildin, unfixed ladders and poor manual handling techniques to name bit a few. Nae Bo'ness Builder wid stand fur sich Dickensian working practices. In the meantime ah'm writing a strongly wordit letter ti the editor i Sunday Post, wi the HSE cc'ed in.
This site wis set up by a group i bored thirtysumhings who grew up thegithir in Bo'ness, a quaint former whaling port and mining town oan the banks i the Michty River Forth windin thru the Glens i Scotland. The site is carefully worded in the Bo'ness dialect - please let us ken (know) if u canny understaun it afore breengin in. Be shair ti look it the comments under each poast - they are usually funnier than the stuff we pit up, and feel free ti poast yir ain!! We especially want ti hear fi aw they local petrochemical 'workers' who dae nuhin bit read this site n watch porn oan the nicht shift, in between turning a couple i valves n takin a fly heid doon.
