I'd love an independent England. but who will you blame when you're in dependant and the corruption continues? doesn't matter if you're Scotish English etc....its more about who you are as an individual. like Billy Connolly said about the yes/no vote last year.

[@graceygrumble]

I'm a Geordie. I've never had any bother understanding Scots - in the main. The Scots have never had any bother understanding me - in the main. One of my friends from uni, a Scot, emigrated to Australia. I went to Oz and we met up in Broome. He reverted to Maryhill Road form. He was so relieved to be able to talk 'properly'! The Aussies were totally non-plussed.

[@graceygrumble]

***** My brother is a lecturer at Manchester University. My mother phoned him on his lunch break and they chatted for about twenty minutes. When he put the phone down, there was a wall of disbelieving faces directed at him. Ha! x

[@Phoenix1664]

Also Geordie here, Scottish very easy to understand to me, and I love the sound, its almost poetic. I never understand what other people's problem was, but there again, the Geordie accent is really only one step short of Edinburgh Scottish, one more short step, and you're Glaswegian. I found this out to my cost when working at ALDI, in Blue Mountains, Australia, when the most popular customer question Aussies asked, was where abouts in Scotland/Ireland I was from. It was pretty infuriating to explain to Aussies where Newcastle was, and what then accent was....

[@graceygrumble]

***** I've had the Irish/Scots mix up as well. But, my mother was Irish Catholic and my father was Scottish Presbyterian - thereby hangs a tale! So, perhaps that's not surprising, I've also been thought of as Welsh! Perhaps it's the 'sing-song' intonation. I'm just happy to be a Geordie and by virtue of that fact, English - just to piss them all off!

[@brythonicman3267]

***** I come from further south, Yorkshire. When I lived in Brisbane, the times I got asked what part of Scotland am I from I lost count of. Reckon they all think English talk with London accents and if you don't you must be Scottish.

[@graceygrumble]

***** Great Britain is a bizarre little island. I could walk along the river Tyne 50+ miles and meet people who speak like me, with only a slight variation. But, I could go three miles south along the coast and find people who speak differently. 50 miles north west and I'm in Hawick or Jedburgh, enjoying the crack with other Newcastle United supporters, some of whom are family and are Scottish. They have taking the piss down to a fine art - just like Kevin Bridges! Kevin Bridges!? What kind of Sassenach/Irish name is that!? 50 miles south and I'm venturing into Yorkshire territory. They're Engl- ish, with a strong sense of identity which puts them Yorkshiremen first and English second. Thus the Engl-ISH. So, what am I trying to say? We should all try and preserve our national languages and dialects, although we should also attempt to be bilingual. We're all a bunch of schitso arseholes who can only unite on this one common theme: South of the Humber is where the cocks seem to be in the majority. x

[@ComaDave]

Me = Aussie. Most of my oldest friends are either Scots or Scots-Australian. Been there five times. Love the place and the people. The first time I went, in 1986 - I got a lot of strange, confused looks from Glaswegians trying to figure out my accent, thinking I was English at first...then doing a double-take. We were more of a "curiosity" back then. Love Glasgow, doesn't intimidate me at all. (Being 6' 2" and looking like a hairy Golem probably helps) In '86 I ended up at an Old Firm match at Park Head, a few hours after Glasgow hosted an Orange Walk. All my pals were Celtic supporters, so here's me right in the middle of the Celtic end - being stared at menacingly by approximately half of the 68,000 people in the crowd...because I was in a sea of green, wearing the dark blue parka I'd brought along from Oz. It finished 1-1 and I got to live, especially after talking loudly in the most unmistakable Aussie accent I could muster. Once people realized I was just a dumb foreigner, they just grumbled and began to ignore me.

[@iamurdad77]

Don't ever feel ashamed of your accent mate,It is part of your identity,if other people don't like it! too fucking bad for them! I would rather listen to someone speak in a thick country american accent than that of lets say a new yorker or californian,the southern accent to me sounds much more genuine and Honest if that makes sense.

Since this is true, and we (Americans and others) have such a hard time understanding Scottish accents, would the Scottish have anywhere near the same difficulties? I'm thinking that maybe media and television may help them understand us, while I don't see much Scottish normally in every day life here.

it pays to be careful what you wish for, especially now that brexit is turning into a beaurocratic and financial nightmare - voting for brexit was a disaster mainly by people who had no idea what they were voting for and therefore deciding the scottish fate at the same time so there is small wonder that the scots are waiting for a referendum to be done very presently in order to save them from the uk fate of voting for stuff the voters there had no idea would bring a lot of tradeloss and unemployment, presently still masked by corona fallout, and at the same time the idiots who voted for brexit also had no idea of the accessory damage that would be caused to exchange and travel restrictions within the eu and right of stay. in short, the most important trading partner was voted out and the uk plus scotland voted a third world country tradewise, with all the great problems this entails - mainly loss of trade and travel. you can t do something more stupid and dangerous to livelihoods all over the uk, than this

Christina Speirs OOps you were wrong. From our dear friends at wiki - Whisky or whiskey[1] is a type of distilled alcoholic beverage made from fermented grain mash. Various grains (which may be malted) are used for different varieties, including barley, corn (maize), rye, and wheat. Whisky is typically aged in wooden casks, generally made of charred white oak.---- So I was correct and you were wrong to correct me. English is my fourth language so I make mistakes, hence I believed you at first. How do you say " go away" in Gaelic.
