That fake Milngavie accent that students seem to feel the need to affect no matter where they're actually from in Scotland. Dee da dee da deeeeeeeee. Na na na na na naaaaaaaaaa. With a real low inflection towards the end. Nothing identifies a **** faster.
Similar to the "Estuary English" accent we have down here, the archetypal student's dialect that almost sounds a bit Australian due to the upwards inflection at the end of every sentence (as though the speaker is forever asking questions). Always full of Americanisms as well like "I'm good, thanks"
Terry Christian is a Manc, therefore the Manc accent. Maybe the people who have voted before hadn't been subjected to Terry Christian's voice.
"Can I get a coffee?" No, you ****in can't "get" a coffee. You can "have" one if you like. In fact, no, you can't, **** off to the pub and get a pint you ****.
No chance. People can understand folk from Edinburgh. You need a translator to understand what the ****ing Weegies are going on about. Mind you, it's usually just one or two things they say to visitors: "Goat enny sperr change?" "Yoo want chibbed ya ****?"
Edinburgh-ers suffer from a deep jealousy of Glasgow and all things Glaswegian, they are in essence, a bundle of contradictions. They dislike us, yet refuse to support their own teams Guys like ST, born and buggered in Edinburgh, but doesn't support his local teams. He's a gay politician dontcha know....
To me you just sound the same. It's hardly surprising though, considering you're 200 miles from me. I can tell the difference between a Wigan accent and a Bolton one, but most Scots accents sound the same (maybe not the northern-most ones though) Why would a Welshman think the scouse accent was beautiful? You didn't vote Manc by any chance did you? It had a clean sheet till then!
I reckon the one person who voted for Belfast was probably from Belfast - we're a self loathing lot. 6 years living out of the country and I still have a thicker inner city accent, it causes much hilarity in my office when I shout something across the room that nobody understands, bunch of ****s
Maybe because I'm used to it? I don't know, I've only ever hated hearing someone talk a couple of times, like when Indians or Pakistanis try to talk English and when Terry Christian says something so I had to vote for the Manc one really
