Police in Glasgow urge residents not to fall for Amazon telephone scam When I get a cold call I simply speak exceedingl­y quickly and in my broadest Glasgow accent and tell the caller what I can see if I look around the room.

Basically I talk like Isa from still game.

“Erza coffee cup that is hoff empty coz ah made a cup this morning thinking i was gonnae drink it all but I went tae the lavvy and when ah came back it was cauld so I opened a canna ginger insteed and drank hoff of that but I then wanted a biscuit but coodnae make up mah mind if a waanted a blue ribad or a Kit Kat coz sometimes the silver paper on the Kit Kats get stuck on the chocolate and when it hits wan of yer fillings it sends a shock right through you... (Only pausing to take a breath!)

They usually say “pardon”, in which case you go off on another tangent a-la-Isa. Harvey Kellerman

They have phoned me every couple of weeks since lockdown started – I don’t even have an Amazon account. I also get calls every week about the accident I had in a car I was driving – I don’t drive... they will try anything! But there are many vulnerable people out there.

Extra Clap For NHS to take place

The politician­s were most certainly not clapping for NHS Scotland when over the last years, many in fact, NHS Scotland’s budget was being decimate.

Doctors, nurses, midwives and auxilliary nurses were treated as a commodity to be utilised when the financial cuts bled the most. These staff members are profession­als and get treated almost like indentured servants. Please don’t clap. It only encourages the politician­s to think they’re getting away with it.
