Wiki says Hardeep Singh Kohli is a well-known broadcaster and the Beeb identifies him as a ‘Great Scot’. He obviously wants to be taller too. Why not?
Great Scot! Well almost.

Aye weel, Janus.
To be fair to the Beeb, they are calling him a famous Scot rather than a great one if this is the item which caught your eye.

Personally, I do think that he can be described as a famous Scot, despite being born in London of Punjabi parents. He moved to Weegieland when he was 3 and he has a good Scots tongue on him and a fine sense of humour. I bet he takes brown sauce on his chips like a good Weegie and can name all of the Broons.
Definitely a Scot by nurture and choice if not by nature. An unpleasant side to him and his business and personal affairs, however, which means that I think it unlikely that he will ever be a great anything.
I don’t know anything about this man.
However, if the Beeb reckons he’s great and our own JM reckons he has an unpleasant side… I know whose opinion I value…
And, thus, I feel able to comment that he looks a tad odd with his turban, sunnies, sweat shirt, sporran and kilt, ‘just William’ socks and trainers…
Still he seems to be trying to fit in 🙂
William wore lace-ups (unlaced). Trust a girl not to know that. 😦
When my dear daughter, whose name is Elizabeth and was a little thuggess as a child, I used to annoy her intensely by referring to her as Violent Elizabeth Bott. I still do 🙂
I have not seen much of the subject of the post, but he seems moderately amusing to me. I do not know anything about his private life so cannot comment.
Lace up socks – what are they?
FEEG – now that’s clever – assuming it’s not a typo! 😕
Lace-up socks –
No typo! And accurate. She did play Rugby for a while 🙂
FEEG – 😆
Not much of any sort of a Scot, this yin. Didn’t even know the difference between afternoon tea a
May I be allowed to finish without WordPress doing funny things? As I was saying “between afternoon tea and high tea” in a recent piece. Would he know what a “jeely piece” is?
Sheona, could you let me into the secret? Just between us. 🙂
A “jeely piece” is bread and jam, a snack that used to be given to children, often when they got home from school to keep them going till the main evening meal, which would be high tea.
Sheona, these things are meant to be secret. Whatever you do don’t tell him what a bottle of ginger is?
No, we’ve got to try to educate the Sassenachs, TR.
An impossible task, Sheona.
Personally, I applaud the guy – if he thinks he’s a Scot, then he is.
