I second that. I was in Lerwick in the Simmer Dim this year so I recognised the places Mark was talking about. He did a really good and very funny show, obviously appreciated by the locals. I agree with his pisstaking of the ferry 'pods' - I'll no' travel in one of those again.

I've got good sea legs, me. Herself, on the other hand, didn't.

Mark Steel’s Lerwick show is particularly good, as are most of his “In town” shows.
Sadly I couldn’t attend his recent Aberdeen showas we had 4 grandkids on a sleepover!

I've managed to do it the other way round. My speech is very very RP and once I was looking at the menu outside the curry house in Lerwick. A couple of local lads came out, and told me the Madras was really good there. I said "Thank you, I'll have to try it"...
