No it's true, Brummies sound thick, Scousers sound like crooks, Cockneys sound like spivs and West Country folk sound like yokels.
And ppl from Stranrar sound like nothing else including other Scottish. There is a small town that way that if you listen to the old fellas talking to each other you will never follow the conversation. To an Englishman they sound like Glaswegians on speed. Seriously a thick accent spoken at quite some speed!! A friend out there said that she could not understand her dad when he was with his mates and she was born and bred there having never left accept for a few trips to Dumfries!!
Scousers sound like crooks but they are salt of the earth! Not exactly the same as you can say about ppl from other parts of the of the UK!!

England is Britain! If you don't believe me then why is it the only one of the four nations that plays the British national anthem as its national anthem. Hah! Case proven!!

You should try listening to local Aberdonians (or within about 30 miles radius). I am Scottish through and through, but from west central Scotland. I cannot understand Aberdonians when they are in conversation with each other. They tone it down a bit when they know they are talking to a "weegie" (Glaswegian; by which they mean anyone from south of Dundee!).

Well I’m dill-lighted to find the details. Bit like an iceberg with most details hidden under the surface.

It’s not a full expression that annoys me, rather an incomplete one-
My step daughter will say “shall we go beach?”
As opposed to
“Shall we go to the beach?”
In her defence it might be a Devon/Plymouth thing as my ex in-laws used to say the same thing.
It’s nails down the blackboard!

The commonly held misunderstanding that the Scots language is a variation of English.

Unique legal documents detailing the "real story" behind the breakup of The Beatles more than 50 years ago have been discovered in a draw
First time I went to Aberdeen docks to pick up a load. I went into the office and this huge bloke came out. He must have been 7ft tall, with long blonde hair and a massive shaggy beard. He spoke some strange language that sounded a bit like Norwegian. I thought he must be a viking and he was speaking Norse. Turns out he was local and speaking dorric*, never did understand a word he said.
* = Not sure how that's spelt.
