If you live in Leith, it's impossible to avoid those dreadful beige-coloured squares. It's fake, it's knocked off, it's every damn where you look. Yes - we're talking Burberry again. As everywhere as Buddleia, and twice as nasty.
So I'm indebted to NB reader gav for this little sound clip. Burberry.mp3 (489k, worksafe) Scots will get the joke immediately, but for those beyond this wee bit hill and glen (such as Mel Gibson), the thing to note is the change in the speaker's accent. (The voice he ends up with is authentic "Leith on eccie", btw :)
