| Mairead | Bha. Nuair a bha sinn a’ dol suas dhan Òban an-uiridh. Bha an t-eagal orm gum biodh tu a’ cur a-mach. Bha an t-eagal orm nach biodh e ceart an dèidh an chilli sin ithe idir. Gabhaidh sinn brot agus sailead an dèidh sin. | Yes, we have. When we were going up to Oban last year. I was afraid that you would be sick.
