Its not the accent, its the speed. Brummy is a slow drawl, as is Aussie (and deep south USA). How similar are: "g'day mate howyagarn?" and "alroight, how yow dowin?":p

The Scottish talk fast in case their tongue freezes when they open their mouth;)

Good man.

I don't think I will ever give up, I lost my uncle over there last week and I really wanted to see him before he went, but that's life.

I talk to my cuz a lot and he is desperate to get me over.

One day, one day.

We bought our house from a scottish family who had lived here for 30 years.

Our suburb is Glengowrie, adjoining Glenelg.

I detect a theme here.

An attempt at world domination or just concidence....mmm!

World domination... if you see anyone with a blue face, slap him with his Sporran.

........but if you see them wearing a kilt, or speaking in a funny accent.....

Strangely, my husband was wearing a kilt the first time I met him and he's not scottish!!

could there be some kind of abduction/cloning/indoctrination type of programme operating?

That must have been scary ...I bow down in reverence to you for keeping him on :D

There might be ...be very careful who you answer your phone too ... there might be subliminal messages sent to possess you.

Am very suspicious now as he does know most of the words to 'flower of Scotland'.

Will sleep with my welsh love spoon (not a euphemism!) under the pillow in case he plans an attack. :)

I'm beginning to get concerned now ... you sure he's from Cov?

What you going to do - forcefeed him Welsh Rarebit?:ohmy:

Definitely from Cov as has very sad tattoo proclaiming the fact that he was 'made in Coventry.'

Sad but true!

Oh, the foolishness of youth!!:D:D

Cov! Now that is a worry. Coventry is full of Jocks & Taffs who went looking for jobs in the motor industry.

The kilt could have been a tartan skirt though. Not sure which would be more worrying;)

Definitely was a kilt, he'd borrowed it from a lad from Bristol who played the bagpipes.

Now the plot is seriously thickening...
