Hats off to you
@Erratic Gravy !
One of my friends is a Glaswegian.
A few weeks ago, I spoke to him on the phone for the first time in several months.
It took me several minutes to 'tune in' to his dialect before I could understand a word he said!
This was after he had made a serious effort; after our conversation his young daughter said 'Dad why were you speaking posh on the phone?'
Geordies can be even harder to understand- especially the older generation!
My Grandfather was a true cockney, so I can just about understand them...
