Unst rambling.

I'm sorry I asked. What I posed as a perfectly innocent question appears to have ruffled a few feathers. I am not knocking anyone or pretending to be an expert on Shetland matters. I simply find it strange that,out of 22000 or so Shetland residents, only two out of a dozen or so bloggers were born in Shetland.
But,is it really surprising? When reading the Shetland Times or listening to Radio Shetland, we find that nine out of ten 'spokes-persons' are not Shetlanders. They speak with Southern accents. Sooth-moothers,like myself. I wonder if they are the ones who are going to compile the new dictionary.
Claudias.
