Followers of the Archers will be familiar with the character of "Jazza".
Jazza is a Scotchman with a "see yew, Jimmy" accent, a close cousin of
Knappish. This is of course a bizarre persona to intrude into a village
set in farming country in the English Midlands. But this being Ambridge,
a "see yew, Jimmy" Scotchman is scarcely out of place alongside the
homosexuals, feminazis, mixed race families (think the Aldridges and the
Vicar) and Hindu solicitor.

The interesting thing about Jazza is how he beautifully epitomises the
general Scotch character. He is a drug user who damaged his brain using
ketomine. He is a thief who has not been averse to a spot of burglary in
the past. He is a drunkard. He whines incessantly. Despite being in
his mid-twenties at least,. he generally behaves as irresponsibly as a
10-year-old, his 2010 New Year resolution being to live a life around
"beer an' fitba'" . Most importantly, he is socially inept in the
extreme, this trait being particularly in evidence in his relationship
with the opposite sex. His family is represented as being violent,
drunken and whining. Could there be any more perfect portrayal of the
Scotch character? The BBC is to be congratulated on putting aside
political correctness in this case and telling it like it is. RH

another target for your interests....

the socialist broadcasting 'service' is currently expanding
its supply of young yobettes...

screaching a form of inglish straight out of a saturday night
pub crawl from somewhere better avoided....

once the bbc gave an aspirational model to the unwashed...

now it worships at the altar of ignorance and promotes ugliness

Once again fiction meets Robert's reality. You really could make it
up.

In fact the rush to the villages by the prosperous Indian community can
be seen just about everywhere in the richer 'dormitory villages' that
surround our cities.

Prosperous Indian doctors have moved into the English villages in
largish numbers, their presence is usually only noticed when the
fireworks go off on Divali.


I do have to add that the vicar in the village I grew up in has a vicar
who is married to a black South African lady who he met when a
missionary there, but I'm not sure how typical he is, and I certainly
don't listen to the Archers...

So is Tom and Jerry although this probably doesn't need to be
genetically modified.

I suppose you would know as fantasy celts are figment of your
imagination - much like your doctors and nurses, for example.
