Good point. Does anyone understand a word they say?

I used to share a house with three geordies. They were all fairly easy to understand when you trapped them individually but once they were in a room together and the newky brown was free flowing they spoke an entirely different language chirping stuff about "gannin inta toon" and all sorts.

 I used Sid The Sexist from Viz as a phrase book for the more difficult words.

I once phoned up Lastminute.com's customer services dept in the
sub-continent after some pretty lousy service.

I was not in a very good mood but it got worse when the nice lady there asked me if I understood English!!!

I almost blew a gasket!!!

I work in a call centre for BT doing Technical support for BT broadband talk (VOIP)

The entire bulldog broadband support is in the same building as me too, the 8meg* connections are generally upto 8 meg connections dependant on what your exchange can handle.

I can appreciate that some scots are hard to understand but I was at least making an effort. I was in Newcastle the other weekend and they sure as hell dont speak English!
