Members of the British parliament broke into laughter on October 18 when New-Zealand born Tory MP, Paul Beresford, visibly struggled to understand his Scottish colleague who was speaking with an accent.
Beresford initially apologized to Scottish National Party's (SNP) David Linden before asking him to repeat his question. But after a second attempt he sheepishly suggested Linden speak more slowly.
After two failed attempts in the miscommunication, Deputy Speaker, Lindsay Hoyle, suggested they resolve the matter by letter.

@@anthonymelendez949 Its mockery, scotland is consider by the english elite and I suppose ireland too, backwards, or not as civilised so to speak.Its funny because scotland has had "civilization" on Britain, along side the welsh(the original Britons),and cornwall thousands of years before an anglo saxon or norman set foot on the british shores,while also having a shared language with other people in europe and a time before rome and germans was the vast majority of middle and western europe (with the slavs being a massive part of eastern europe still to this day),and I think thats part of the twisted humour of the English take a peoples language culture spread them throughout the world keep them poor and then pretend to act surprised when they dont speak with a posh english accent,strange thing about scotland my last name and the majority of the population is Irish they've tried to erased scotland and have just created more scotland people than before

In my southern American city we speak very slowly 🐌. We are ever so languid but perhaps we merely like to hear ourselves go on and on. Years ago we visited Scotland, and it being a Sunday, no one was out and about except one gentleman who gave us his tie for some reason. He invited us back to his club for a cozy pint. And even tho we did not understand half of what anyone said, it was just a lovely, lovely memorable day. 😊

@Demon Slayer The United Kingdom is a country consisting of four distinct nations. Some claim the nations within are countries, which they may be depending on your definition of country; however, most definitions don't count England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland as countries. They do not have independence from the UK, nor external recognition, embassies, UN seats etc. In these ways it's more apt to compare them to US states than to US and Canada.

I speak extremely fast too. Difference for us is that we need to keep up with our thoughts and if or when we slow down, we're lost. I struggled with this at school and so much of my work life, until I saw an interview with JRR Tolkien. He spoke at an unbelievably fast pace. I no longer apologize for the way I speak.

In my opinion, when he had to repeat it he made a mistake. If someone asks you to repeat something, it’s quite obvious they didn’t understand you, so you should try to communicate in a way that would make you more understandable for the other person, e.g., by speaking more slowly.

It happened to me once in France. I am Algerian and I was brought up speaking proper French. In the early 2000, I visited France for the first time. There, I met someone from the South-Ouest of France. He was from a rural area known for its heavy regional accent. I asked him to repeat a sentence 3 times. I was very embarrassed. My ears are more trained now...

I, who am far from speaking English well, understood him, then I set the video with automatic translator and the first time the scotsman spoke, the translator translated perfectly. But when the English spoke the translator could not translate a couple of words. Beyond the fact that it does not enter in my head that a country have to depend on another country, it annoys me a little too much that the country that "took" other countries does not have politicians who know how to understand the accent from the country that is within its kingdom, I mean, if that country really respects all the countries that make up its kingdom, its politicians must know how to understand the general accent of the other countries The only nice thing from the video was the Scottish and Welsh accent, the rest seemed like pedant dinosaurs. Sorry, I say that with all due respect, and really sorry for my lousy English.

Now with more people knowing about the Paralympics, the WeThe15 movement and what those with disabilities have to deal with and overcome, the problems in order to bridge the gap to a more equal world are highlighted

Had a Scottish friend who would visit Ontario Canada in the summer months. We went to Tim Hortons one day and he asked me to come with him to the cashier because he said they never get his order correct because of his accent. So we walked up and he asked "could I get a can of pepsi", the cashier looked a bit confused but walked away to fetch the order. She then returns with a little paper cup of ketchup... He just looked at me with the most exasperated stare and waved his hand to me as to say "told you so, please assist" haha. I then told the young lady what he actually asked for and the poor girl went red with embarrassment and fetched the can of pepsi for him. Hands down funniest moment I ever had with him.

I managed to understand most of it. He said that there are a number of parliament colleagues who have difficulties moving around so he asked what can they do to make areas more accessible to people especially those with a disability. To be honest, he only spoke two sentences and the last line alone can tell you what he is trying to say. He can tell him what he understood from his speech and go on from there.

She had a heavy Scottish accent and I was completely unprepared to hear it, and didn’t understand a single word. 😂. When I asked her to repeat it, I was able to understand by listening closely and being ready to “translate” the accent lol.

I wonder if the person with problems understanding a Scot speaking English can understand people from, for example, the English west country or those from Newcastle? Now I am a Scot brought up on a Scottish farm which did not even have electricity. So no, "Wireless", and TV was not then broadcast in Scotland. I never heard English spoked until I went to the nearest village school. My point is that on leaving school I worked for the predominantly English speaking MOD, (Admiralty), for 50 years. I never had the slightest problem making myself understood anywhere in the British Isles nor in the then many Royal Naval overseas bases. Mind you I did experience claimed language difficulties in London when tendering a Scottish bank note the retailer claimed not to recognise as Pounds Sterling and who attempted to offer less than face value for my Scottish pounds Sterling. Strangely enough they always suddenly recognized the Scottish banknote's face value when their Scots customer decided to walk away without the purchase. Perhaps the not understanding MP suffers from the same form of deafness as some London retailers?
