bah humbug

When reading Hermit Life's recent contribution I was thinking of Bah Humbug types... this took me to a recollection of a Scottish friend of mine - now a long time resident of Canada - telling me of an encounter with a new young work colleague who was in awe of my friend's ability to speak other languages. Firstly, the youngster wanted to know if my friend could 'speak fluent Scottish?'......and when assured that he could indeed speak fluent 'Scottish' the youngster then wondered whether German was also a language he could understand? The reason he asked this was because he had always wondered what ' Bah Humbug' actually meant? Thinking to educate the young even more the suggestion was made that maybe Charles Dickens would be a good place to start? 'Ah!'....said the young and puzzled person, that would be the 'Bah Humbug' from The Muppets?'
My friend remains grateful he can speak fluent Scottish, as it assisted his response at that one precious moment in time...
Happy Christmas to all from Yell...its been truly beautiful weather here today.
