Seems like something drawn up by a soft southerner.

Anyone who includes Fife and Dundee as having a stuck up and pretentious accent is either deaf or geographically challenged

Yeah, my sister-in-law’s family are from Dundee. I can definitely confirm that.

They clearly meant to get Edinburgh (although that also implies they’ve never been to Edinburgh) but went too wide.

My mum was born in Dundee. When she went to work on the switchboard at the gas company as a teenager, the very first thing they did was send her to an elocution class to get rid of the Dundee accent 😂

To her dying day, she still answered the phone like Hyacinth Bucket

As a Canadian I’m not entirely sure what region it is that “punches horses” but it got a chuckle out of me.

Back in 2013 - there’s video of it.

The horse was fine and died at the age of 21 after a pleasant retirement.

Think more Maine than Florida. Cold dark winters with lots of beer and whiskey.

You can instantly tell it’s Newcastle without knowing the exact point on the map, because it’s the same place that is “shirtless”

I’ve never known Fife and Dundonian accents to be described as ‘pretentious’.

Yeah. I think they just made it too big for Edinburgh, as you say.

But to be honest, most of the folk I know fae the ‘burgh are nae posh.

Dundonian accent is mad. It’s probably the most out there. Like Russian or baltic.

I disagree, but whatever. You need to spend more regional time around Scotland.

What are you disagreeing with ? I lived in Edinburgh for 25 years. 4 years in Dundee. I’ve been to most Scottish cities. Easy Coast and west I haven’t really visited and none of the islands. No higher than Inverness. Never been to ullapool or however it’s spelt.
