Extract from OLD-LORE MISCELLANY OF ORKNEY, SHETLAND, CAITHNESS AND SUTHERLAND. VOL. IV. PART I. JAN., 1911 EEL-LORE.---(Miscellany, Vol. I., page 296). The form I heard it in South Yell, was:--- Eele eele andi Cast a knot abut di tail I slip de whar I fan de. -- T. M. SHETLAND COUNTING-OUT RHYMES,etc.---(Miscellany, Vol. I., page 296, Vol. II., p. 134, and Vol. III., p. 56). Like the Revd. Mr. Williamson of Insch, the form I was accustomed to when a boy at Burravoe, Yell, was:--- Eetam, peetam, penny pie, Jinkam, joory, janny jie. White fish, black troot, Gibbe gaa, doo's oot. About the year 1867, a family from Lunnasting settled in South Yell, when we learned from the boys the following form:--- Eetam, peetam, penny plump, A' the ladies in a lump. First shu cust, an' dan shu drew, And it must be gou. I have been told that the following form was also used in South Yell:--- Eetam, peetam, penny pie, Peppy lury, jinky ji, Black fish, white troot, Errie, orrie, ye are oot. The following was also known in South Yell:--- Up hill and down dale, And tho' ye gather a' da day (or ta doom's day), Ye widna gather a hand fu (i.e., mist). --- T. M.

So would a flight from Edinburgh to Sumburgh have an allowance of 23kg No, Loganair is the operator both ways- 15kg. They no longer use BA checkin staff for Shetland flights.

15kg see http://www.loganair.co.uk/ Not usually too strict with weight unless its a full plane.
