The DUP’s Jim Shannon again addressed the Assembly in his native tongue of Ulster Scots, adding much-welcomed colour to the proceedings. Many people think they can’t speak Ulster Scots, but as we have seen from Jim's previous speeches you may surprised at how much you’ll understand.
See how you get on translating his latest Ulster Scots address, this time on the closure of post offices on Tuesday:
Hit wusnae sae lang sine at we met in this chammer an’ taaked aboot the ill daeins agin oor Poastal Service an hoo needfu’ hit wus tae houl oantae es monie poast offices es cud bae kep’. Well the situation bes the saime noo – gif hit isnae a baager hannlin – bit thair bes a bag differ.
Instead o’ a “Pretend ‘Semmelie” es yin member cried hit in the las’ debate aboot this issue in Janwerry aa the tim’ o’ the Transitional ‘Semmelie, we ir noo a devolved ‘Semmlie at bes fit tae maak a differ an’ pley a baag pairt no onie tae houl oantae oor Poast Offaices bit tae mak’ thaim betther.
