Random digression: Anyone else read "One Fine Day In The Middle Of The Night" by Christopher Brookmyre (which is set in Glasgow)? Just been lent it and it's hilariously brilliant...:)

edit: "the touching story of what happens when the former pupils of an ordinary Glasgow high school are reunited after fifteen long years; reminiscence, reconciliation, old secrets, rekindled passions, joy, laughter, hijackers, murder, vengeance, machine-guns, rocket-launchers ... that sort of things." :D

Halfway through so far...warming up for the action. Thus far: Inventive and entertaining use of vocab, a talent for sketching amusing visual scenes, and lots of interesting observations on life. The preface reads, "The following is based on a true story" ...which is a nicely absurd little touch. :)

The quality of the dialects used in the dialogue I'll leave up to you to decide...but the author was born in the locale he uses as a setting (which, er, may or may not help, really).

edit: The_Dinobots — Mainly, just dismiss the more obvious generalisations about the British and their "elevenses", and you'll be fine...I've actually seen that in genuine and current US travel guidebook literature...
