BTW - My ancestors where Scots (MacKenzie) and an odd little French Huguenot named Gaston who somehow made his way up to Scotland.
Sunday's game was a right scunner!
My accent is kinda funny, because we are right in between Glasgow and Edinburgh 23 miles each way, it is a mixture of both and if we go to Glasgow they think we are from Edinburgh and vise versa.
The Irish and Welsh are good when it comes to understanding us but the further south in England we go the worse it gets lol.
I was in Colchester visiting a good friend a number of years ago and when I went to the pub I had to point to what I wanted as the barmaid had no idea what I was saying.
My daughter was over in the states at her boyfriends in Mattoon and she went into a subway and asked for Tuna and the guy had no idea what she was saying, her boyfriend had to get her order anytime they went out.
Good to hear your ancestors are one of us, My uncle and aunt moved over to Salt Lake city in the 50's and I have a few relations there in Arizon and in Battle Creek Michigan.
Totally agree with you regarding the game and I'm really not looking forward to this Sunday
I'm not sure if this will work
