Dixon: a Scotsman?

[Joe Allonby]

As a small child I would often serve as translator for my North Cumbrian
grandmother. People in Boston literally could not understand what she was
saying. It was as if she were speaking a different language. She would
become visibly offended if anyone commented on her "lovely Scottish
accent". She considered it a gross insult. "I've never been to Scotland in
me life! How dare they say such things!"
