Well, I think maybe it must have been how she said it...because it doesn't sound THAT bad to me. People are ignorant of other countries...so it's not TOTALLY her fault. She could have been a bit more subtle, I do agree.

I love when my cousin comes from Scotland. I've always wanted his accent. He's from near Glasgow, if that makes a difference...but I just wanna steal his accent. Every time he comes here, the girls all wanna know where he's from, and tell him how awesome his accent is...ahaha.

I'm not

That in a way makes you different again.

The accents near glasgow are some of the harshest.

My dad was Scottish and he had a really broada accent, apparently. People couldnt understandss him half the time which was frikkin stupid coz i thought that sometimes he spoke better English than half the chavs that lived near us!

I went to glasgow once and it scared the crap out of me.

Being and speaking Glaswegian makes a great difference! You would be amazed by the variety of accents you find within Scotland or within England.

 

[Lisa B]

agreed - wow. We agree!

I justt thought about my accent and i sound like i've just been thrown from the film Snatch.

[Alex_B]

agreed - wow. We agree!

Every time Anne-Marie and I travel on Lufthansa, they insist on speaking to us in German, right up until the point where we say "Pardon?" - cue instant language switch. This included the flight from Manchester to Frankfurt.

ahhaha. Well, my cousins are not THAT bad...they are hard to understand sometimes...but I think they've had enough experience with english/american media that their accent is not the same as their parents. My uncle...now there's a tough accent...

They speak two different languages from when they're home and when they're here. Sometiems they let out some scottish slang, and I'm like "wtf you say?"
