Sorry, I just couldn't resist

Many but why drink that when you have "Exhibition" on draught ?

 

My dad used to drink that stuff, bit sweet for my taste buds mate. McEwans scotch, yuk, you ?

LoL sorry nothing like my accent, are you aware we all dont speak, have that accent here in the great North East, ? Take Teeside for instance, they speak with a Yorkshire accent, probably because they are closer to Yorkshire than we further up north. And the Northumbrians, way out in the sticks, they roll their Rs, unlike we further south.

Believe it or not it's not all about you Andrew. The worst thing they did was build that bloody bridge

No mate I was just trying to make the point that there are regional accents other than Scots and Welsh that some down here might have difficulties with. I couldn't find any Mackems on YouTube. If I did I would have probably posted one or two.

You can still get Irn Bru in glass bottles north of the border. No deposit, and I've got no idea what colour the lids are, but you can get glass bottles.

People automatically assume because we come from the north east we all speak with that horrid accent.

I met a guy in Southampton that could speak Xhosa, clicks and all. He is a fellow Scot, from Dunfermline but he spent quite a few years in SA and he picked it up when he was there.

I don't. I know that Mackems have a different accent from Geordies. The difference is that I don't think that the Geordie accent is 'horrid' and most Scots have little problems understanding a Geordie. Geordies are the descendants of the first Anglo Saxons to have come to these isles after the Romans left. Many Geordie words, and the way the use them are just like Saxon and Old English. For example using the word "wife" for a woman, whether she is married or not (we Scots do this too).
