I live on the border and the accent is unique lets say...It doesn't sound southern and it doesn't sound northern...we are in a league of our own when it comes to speaking very fast and to outsiders it just sounds like incoherent noise.lol.
The uncle was born and reared in the same town but he has learned to speak properly,as he has lived in England for years,and he had to as no bugger would be able to understand him otherwise.

Where on the border are you CC? I have a sister in law living in Mullaghaban and my wife is from Cavan.

No wonder business is slow it took me 5 minutes of repeatedly asking to say again to find out what he was on about.

For those having difficulty translating:-

Basically the Celtic fans are saying welcome to Parkhead, and are wishing the Rangers team and their supporters all the best for the game ahead, near the end of the recording I think someone also invites them for a drink in the London Road Tavern (Parkhead) after the game...

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Again to assist with translation, the barman at 0.40 seconds in to the recording is requesting the clientele leave the premises and wishes them a goodnight.

This is where I find it strange. If that is you Davie in your avatar to me you look like a southerner, I always visualise Scottish men looking a bit like LR - probably because the ones I do know are all similar, shortish, small boned, protective of those they love but not a doormat !!

I am sure you are some of those but I don´t think you look Scottish - I know it is far to early for me to have been hitting the bottle but once you get to know me you will realise that I don´t always have a logical reason for my comments. :sulk1:
