Wow, I remember this strip from when it first appeared in The Arizona Republic. My father was so upset about it, he actually wrote a letter to the editor:“…and if you don’t stop making wisecracks about us Scots being so stingy and cheap, I will henceforth stop borrowing your newspaper!”
And then there was the tourist, new to British Isles, walked into a pub in London, and to make conversation:“What part of Scotland are you two ladies from?”“I’ll have you know it’s Wales!”“My apologies – what part of Scotland are you two whales from?”He didn’t remember much after that.
I’m not a fan of new shoes. I have a pair of new ones I wore 2 weeks ago and they gave me a blister!The second time I wore them, I had to have a plaster on my heel so I wouldn’t feel anything if the shoe was rubbing.xxx

Nice use of accent and indigenous terms, easily deciphered in context.

Some of those spellings look more like German.
