What?!! :'(

No way!

:frown:

I'm just saying, we [me and my friend] find it difficult to make out what they're saying. But that's just us, other [English] people probably find it easier... :smile:

Hehe...thought so. :cool:

On a seperate note, does anyone think people from Edinburgh are difficult to understand? I mean their accent is quite strong and I remember discussing this with a friend once.

I don't think so.. Then again, I'm not good at differentiating between accents, and sometimes I don't understand Scottish people but generally it's Glaswegian that I find difficult.
