Fit like! My name is Aaron and I’m going to be your radio presenter for the next 15 minutes. You’re listening to Reading Radio at SHMU on 99.8 FM. Today we’re going to celebrate the North East dialect of Doric. To help me on my way will be my co-presenters: Naomi – Chelsie - and Grant. Fit Like?
First of all let’s talk about the results of a recent survey in oor school asking people about Doric phrases and words.
Here’s fit people thought.
Oor survey telt us that 7 oot of 10 people said that Fit Like was their favourite Doric phrase. Other suggestions were Fit’s a dee and Foos yer doos.
A’body kint that aye wis the Doric word for yes. Nae bad a’body!
Oor survery also telt us that mast folks thought that mingin was the Doric word for disgusting, horrible or sickening. Nae bad loons and lassies. Mere o‘ oor Doric later with an a’fa good Top Ten Coontdoon.
Oor reporters fae Primary 7 were oot and aboot interviewin’ a’body at Hanover Street. We were askin’ them aboot why Doric is important.

Fooze yer dooze? This is Naomi, your second presenter for this morning, and you’re listening to the special Doric show on Reading Radio. Now, I’m sure we all know Sheena Blackhall, who is a Doric Guru, and does a’thing fae songs tae poems in oor North East dialect. We interviewed her at Hanover Street School, and here she is being questioned aboot Doric.
And now it’s time for another exclusive preview and highlight from Fit Like Yur Majesty! the Reading Bus’s Doric anthology. Here are two brilliant poems, and from our class are going to read them. So, as Mark Anthony said in “Julius Caesar”, Pin back yer lugs.
