Hospital says 'Gaunae no...'
Categorised in:
NHS Tayside wants actor Ford Kiernan to voice his famous phrase in Scots from the TV show ‘Chewin’ The Fat; in its bid to make a hospital a smoke-free zone, the Daily Record has reported this week. Manager Brian Main told the paper that despite warnings that Ninewells hospital in Dundee is a cigarette-free zone, smokers were heading for the ‘fresh air garden’. NHS Tayside has decided that every time a person lights up around the hospital a speaker will broadcast Ford Kiernan’s voice saying ‘Gaunae no dae that’, a well-known line in Scots used in the TV show which they hope will get people to take notice of the no smoking message.
