No! No other fellows must dwell in the Peffers house. Old Bob must be
the householder and the one who does the householding. What's more, Old
Bob must be often housebound too. Now, about that porrige - Old Bob
must twirl the porridge stick too - all on his own. You're wrong again
you great fool.
Now that wasn't difficult. Simply a matter of tidying up the spelling
and swapping synonyms.

Frae Auld Bob Peffers:
8/10 - Very good attempt but lacking very slightly in actual meanings. This
may well be due to the difference between Scottish and English
grammaticalness and their constructions, (and do not tell me that,
"grammaticalness", is not an English word as I am sure that it is one).

| "Obviously you have little knowledge of what farm life was like in
those
pre-tractor, and labour intensive, days. Every able bodied person had
to get
their sleeves rolled up and get on with it. I was feeding Clydesdales
at
ungodly hours of the morning while still quite young. Dad was the
youngest
son so Granddad and Grandmother were not youngsters.Thus Grandmother
did
most of the early bringing up. Granddad still did a fair bit of farm
work
but the eldest son ran the farm. Now, I was born in 1929 so it was not
too
long before the UK was at war and Dad was in the army while Mum worked
in a
defence industry post."
And who carried on tyauving away at the farm? I thought farm folk was
not called up because the work of the farms was important for the war
ettle. Hard skilly work that thae women volunteers like Princess Liz.
couldn't do all their lone.
