Glaswegian isn't strong (well I luv that accent so don't think it's strong or I'm just used to it )
now take someone from the northern Islands. Some of them I haven't a clue what they are talking about!

Well maybe I have it wrong. It think it was not an educated person. Well whoever he was, he was quite nice and we couldn't understand a word he said.

Hmmm... maybe part was the beer...

I can understand any American having problems with a broad Scottish accent
Did the guy say he was from Glasgow?

Oh yes, the in-laws-to-be are fun on the phone sometimes.

When I was telling Keith how the man pronounced his name and things, he said he sounded Glaswegan. I don't think he told me - long time ago. So I'm guessing.

Of course, if he had told me, I probably wouldn't have understood him

I have to make a conscious effort to talk slower to Americans so they understand me. We talk very fast

You probably think they like you, when really they are insulting you

ROFL well you don't want to know why my then b/f was saying to annoying teenage girls in French. And it sounded lovely.

I'm told I talk fast lol. I don't think my Keith talks particularly fast, he has a nice soft voice and accent.

To my surprise, apparently his parents like me and approve. I thought they'd hate him coming over. So I don't THINK they're insulting me, but....

Nah they love you


Of course it has nothing to do with the Scottish scrooge mentality of having a free place to stay on holiday
