I will leave it to bc to translate if you're struggling. Moral of the story is. Don't bring the Scots translator purchased south of the border with you as once your past Dundee you'll need to translate again to the Doric and/or variations of... Buchan, East Coast, Inland all have subtle differences.... Experience to testify this. Friend of mine is from the Broch Fraserburgh area (30 miles north of Aberdeen). she went down to Dundee and called someones young boy "a bonnie little lounie" (spelling).

Deere-est Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Looks like a grand show, Andy and Brian and the figures certainly stacked up going by the footfall. Growing year on year in size and stature and a nice buzz coming through a couple of topics too. Good on ya fellas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will leave it to bc to translate if you're struggling. I'll see how I get on Toyboy and Bill might have to fill in the gaps......... "what your needing my boy is a book of Dialect sayings for when your next up to Aberdeen, a Scottish phrase book will be of no use to you up here when your trying to speak to country folk in the town for a day out. The Dialect is the mother tongue up in this neck of the woods, so you'd better go shopping an sort yourself out with a book on the dialect. This little corner of Scotland has its own language altogether.

Valley Axe Man Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Well done to all involved in raising that amount for charity.

ronan7051 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I think the posts above have said everything that can be said about the show, all I can say is it was brilliant as usual. I would loved to have been there for the whole day, but only made it for a few hours , and boy did they fly in. Thanks to Brian (Mr Softie) for giving me the heads up that there was only one show model left when I bumped into him just inside the door, delighted I got one I got a few othere models to add to the collection, and I think I may start saving for next years show, as I could have got alot more !! Some really amazing dioramas, and as already mentioned the detail in some of them was amazing! Something to aspire to I guess. I was lucky I got home from work for the show, I was beginning to worry I wasnt going to make it,so I think I will be booking holidays next year to make sure I'm home! Brilliant to bump into some of you guys from the last time I made it to it and nice to meet some new people too, will hopefully make it to Blacpool sometime Shaun Anyway to wrap up my bladdering, well done to you guys (Bill Andy, Brian etc) it was a show to be proud of as always, and I cant wait for next year!!

BC Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I haven't heard any bad reports about the show Ronan all positive comments which is good and the icing on the cake (in addition to Lynn's lovely Ford cake) was Andy and Brian have been able to donate £ 1,600 to the shows 2 nominated charities. A total of £ 3,100 has been donated to local Aberdeen charities since the first show in 2011 at the smaller venu at the Marriott Hotel in Dyce....an average of over £ 1,000 a year aint bad in my opinion. Now i must go away and send follow up reports to the local rags which promoted the show since I see it as equally important doing follow up reports and a thank you to the editors for using the articles on the build up to the show.

BC Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Today I had to drop my mum off at the Post Office in Kemnay so whilst waiting for her I took the opportunity to go to the card shop Sidelines and the butchers Clarence Lingard and thank them both for displaying show posters. It was such a delight to hear how pleased they were about the success of the show and the fact that £ 1,600 went to local Aberdeen charities. Anyway I can go back to them again next year for advertising but if the truth be known I really wanted to treat myself to one of Lingards steak and kidney pies for my tea Talking of butchers I need to visit John Dossett the butcher at Kintore to thank him also and well he does a mean steak and kidney pie as well but with puff pastryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Now should I put my show model up on ebay....don't think so but good to see one has more than doubled its value in just two weeks http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aberdeen-Siku-John-Deere-6210-R-2013-Show-Model-LTD-TO-50-MODELS-/261214850185?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&nma=true&si=fvW1aXCPDywHigl8Oh10einoL%252FA%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 they will go well in germany thats for sure, having watched the german collectors going round zwolle, with the list of every siku model made, hunting them down ,belive me they will pay what ever it takes to get it, the bronze model farmer ones now go for 300 odd euros there,was one at last years for that, and it sold as did the hawk hire mcmoricks from spalding, we cleared 10 add boxs approx 60 in total) worth of them in pretty much one day, could have sold even more if andy had them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
