First of all, I don't get offended or insulted by our accents getting slagged as I couldn't care, you obviously do. And lastly, the east of Glasgow accent is different from the south west of Glasgow as is the north west of Glasgow... Is it ? Genuinely interested in this I am from the east end and couldn't tell the difference between somebody from easterhouse or drumchapel upon just hearing them speak Edited November 21, 2016 by Forever_blueco 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like a Weegie accent but they don't want to be called a Weegie so inexplicably change the pronunciation of some words. "Feeneeshed". North Ayrshire sounds different from East Ayrshire 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forever_blueco Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) Is it a Glasgow thing to describe something as "Ben there" When describing a location for example ," where is my phone " " it's Ben in the living room" ?

Dosser-fae-the-shire Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Is it a Glasgow thing to describe something as "Ben there" When describing a location for example ," where is my phone " " it's Ben in the living room" ? Think it's more an older generation thing. My grandad used to use it regularly. "It's ben the scullery" was a favourite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullerene Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 What I find amusing is when people say "I just love a Scottish accent". I know what they are saying - but I am not sure it would apply to every Scottish accent. I can imagine people auditing for "Lassie come home" with the casting director going "What the f*** was that?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTJohnboy Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Is "What do they cry it" a regional thing? I used to hear it frequently when in Glasgow or Ayrshire, but not in Fife or Inverness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
