        Does not warrant a response other than southern Jessie 😇

          Technically I'm a Jock - born on the south bank of the Tay. But raised down here in sunnier climes from age 3 (my dad's home county, he married a real heathen....or I suppose with my 'ampshoier accent, an 'eathen).

          Apart from when the Welsh speak in their native tongue, the 2 accents I find hardest to understand in GB are Geordie (took me 5 minutes once to appreciate one of 'em was just asking me the time) and my mum's brothers and sisters. She's almost completely lost her Scottish accent but we do still take the p1ss because her alphabet runs E B C D E.... And my dad's big sister married a bloke from Sheffield; she now takes a bath and not a bath.
