In #English Keri is saying:
I haven't seen my mum for years, she doesn't talk to me anymore. My Aunt was the person I kept in touch with.
Why? I'm a bit of a mess is why, but she's a bit dishonest too. We fell out after what happened to Ricky. She blamed me.
My Dad passed away a few years ago. He was no better than my ex, just ahead ov him. He drank himself to death.

Keri disnae hae a true hame, an is steyin wi Ami afore the stert o the story. She is restless an rootless.
If she heard the word 'hame', she'd no care oan the outside, but inside, she'd be sick fir it.

The radio is ay oan in the Car, apart frae when the lassies are sleepin or Ami is phonin intae the Rock Radio station.
Maistly it's Rock or metal playin, bit also a wee bitty jazz. A load o it is 90's music, but also loads o o 60's Rock, especially Janis.
The lassies banter a fair amount, but the ither sound is the Polis ahint them.
