Scottish Accent

Fifer

Reminds me of a story that's stuck with me from school for some reason. My pal was helping out at a coffee morning held by his Scout group and overheard the mother of another friend decline the offer of more cake in her best put-on pan-loafy accent, 'Oh, no thank-you, I'm fair stappit fue'.

I have an Ayrshire accent although due to 8 years moving around Germany and England due to OH being in RAF it does have a slight posh twang. My OH is from North East England but isn't broad and my two daughters have non-descript English accents which I must admit I hate especially as the older one is picking up the Norfolk twang.

However my English friends always get me to say 'there's been a murder' and it has them in hysterics for ages!!!

I remember when I lived in Birmingham the ladies loved my Fife accent, only problem was I couldn't say the same about their Brummie/Black Country twangs.

Thankfully my Ayrshire wife loves it

I don't actually hate my accent but it sounds funny if you hear it on TV. Years ago, on It'll Be Alright On The Night there was clip from our local news.They were interviewing a local fisherman and there was loads of laughter (probably canned mind you ). He just sounded normal to me. He hadn't said anything funny. He didn't fall down. They were just laughing at his accent lol.

The nearest accent to mine on TV I suppose is Roisin (sp) from River City. I don't think i'm quite as broad as her though.

One time my mum was on the phone talking in her 'pan loaf' voice. She was saying 'oh, I ken, I ken', My sister and me were in hysterics. :rotfl:

aye I ken feit ye mean ma quine :rotfl:
