Per Ardua Ad Astra
On exercise in Germany in the 1980's, I was tasked to take stores to a Scottish Regiment with a section of trucks. On arrival I approached a Scottish soldier and asked him where his CP was as I had stores for his unit. He answered me in the broadest Scottish incomprehensible accent I had ever heard, I didn't understand a word. I said “WHAT?” The soldier then repeated himself, by which time my 2 i/c had wandered up, I turned to my 2 i/c and said “Dave can you translate.” He looked at me and replied “Don't ask me mate, I only speak English.”
