With reference to your article "Unfit for duty" (Evening Express ,June 20), it amazes me that pounds25,000 is to be used to trainpolice officers to use standardEnglish.
I was brought up speaking Doric. My "mam" used to say I was"broad as the day was lang." Then I became a National Serviceman.
The regiment I was sent to had its major uptake on the west coast.You can imagine at Stirling Castle you learned quick, becauseif you spoke broad Doric, they either ignored you or made fun of you.
You learned how to speak quickly, at no extra expense to the taxpayer.
I'm utterly amazed.
