Some benighted folk will say “yally” but generally your proposition is correct. Christ, settle down lads, don't want this turning into another Russia v Ukraine thread 🙄 😀 For avoidance of doubt, its yelly (or yellie). 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,743 Posted Tuesday at 16:31 Share Posted Tuesday at 16:31 (edited) 2 hours ago, Rousseau said: I'd pronounce it - when I wasn't pronouncing it properly... - more like 'Yelly', or 'yellie'; never 'yella'. I wonder of it's a regional thing? Most likely. But I doubt many people speak Scots (i.e. the "English" derived from the Angles' language rather than the Saxon language of England (and what you use for "Scottish English")) in daily life anyway ...

JohnMc 2,750 Posted Tuesday at 17:47 Share Posted Tuesday at 17:47 In Glasgow it's yella, so that's how you all need to learn to say it. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now have access to the Caird of Purest Yellae. I did notice your promotion, but I thought you'd be far too modest to bring attention to it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utterly posh as in Grange. I don’t know if he actually lives there but I bet he talks like it. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
