Will Fly	Accents (65* d)	RE: Accents	14 Jun 16
I lived in Glasgow for some years as a lad - the accent I picked up got me into bother at school when I went back to Lancashire, as they thought I was Scottish! So I've no problem with understanding the accent and, in fact, drop back into it if I meet a Scot. This can be a problem, as they sometimes think I'm taking the piss... When we went up to Glasgow in 2001 - my first time for 50 years - I could slip in and out of the accent as though I'd never left. Mrs. F., on the other hand, had to have me translate for her when the taxi-driver taking us to the Burrell Collection started chatting merrily away!
