I didn't realise until I started visiting Scotland how varied the accents were, it's the same as in England but I can't tell who is from where in Scotland I just notice the difference.

I've been learning new words as well and When I slip one into a conversation at home I get some really funny looks

People still don't get my accent and i've lived here all my life. When i get a cold i'm irish, sometimes i'm from Norway and other times they just don't know, but they think it's somewhere up north..

I am glad i don't sound like a ned though.

Being pedantic.... Just cos I can!!! But surely Kev is referring to dialect as opposed to accent.
