For reasons of authenticity all the British players will be required to speak in Glaswegian accents, as broad or as refined as you like. The entire player base are drawn from the local area - farmers, Home Guard volunteers, locally barracked soldiers of the signals and AA batteries.

Required reading would be The Broons and the Rab C Nesbitt TV series.

Phrases such as "Jings, mair feet, I canna walk." or "Crivvens, whis Hess gairn" or "Whit, it's awfy cauld." or "Ach, I'd rather get tae get tae fitba' match." might get you in the mood.

At the start of each day players will form up and sing the Scottish National Anthem, "Donald, Where's Yer Troosers" (lyrics http://www.incallander.co.uk/scottishsongs/song51.htm)

So sorry to chums over the border, I was bracing myself for a comment or two! Still, for those who are keen on stereotyping British stif upper lips (guilty :oops: ) and clipped and curt jerries (guilty :oops: ) here is another one to have a crack at. :lol: Still, we are playing out a Glaswegian scenario and chaps do like to get things right, so Glaswegian accents will be the order of the day. Ach aye.

By the way, I forgot to add "Taggart" as a useful reference source. :giggle:

Well, if we follow Scots tradition we HAVE to have Mel Gibson, and definately NOT David Tennant playing ! :happydance:

And MUST include the traditional salute -
