I was out for coffee with a crowd of mums from the local area.
Many many people have moved to this area from other areas, all over the world, due to the oil industry in this area.
From the group I was with I was the only one born and raised in the area and there was only one other Scottish mum in the group. The majority of the rest were English or from abroad.
I class these mums as good friends of mine and I enjoy their company.
However I had no idea what to say when they began a discussion about accents and how they pray their children will not adopt a local accent.
I have a local accent!
Am I being over sensitive (I didn't say a word btw) or is that incredibly rude?
