The Play by Karina Halle
3.0

Random things I picked up while listening to this book.

1. If you are going to get a narrator (or 2) to read your book, and that book has an accent, in this case Scottish, please make sure that they both research the accent 1st before attempting it!!
If this is difficult then don't use them, or call Robert Petkoff for some lessons on how to do it properly!!

2. Here in the UK kids do not have an "allowance" we call it Pocket Money, we also do not have Gatorade so it would be difficult to pick one up from the local shop!!

3. Slang words should not be used if you do not know what they mean, while talking to the barman in Scotland it was mentioned that the rugby team were playing the "Dogs Bollocks" since Lauchlain left, this means they were actually playing BETTER not worse, "Dogs Bollocks" means great/brilliant/excellent, e.g. This sandwich is the dogs bollocks, or we went to watch a film (not movie) last night and it was the dogs bollocks.

4. You absolutely CAN NOT pick up a random dog in the USA and fly them over to the UK and expect to be able to just take them home with you, why?? HELLO RABIES! !!
If you bring an animal from overseas, (especially dogs) to the UK they go into quarantine for 6 OR 7 MONTHS before they are allowed into the country.


Here endeth my lesson, I shall climb off of my box of soap!

The moral of the story ..........research research research!!
