I am really sorry if this has been done to death but I thought it might be fun to guess where we are from based on our pronunciation? I would have loved to have studied linguistics and I love this kind of thing. BtW the way the last thing I want is arguments or piss taking, it's just a bit of fun. To begin with (me) 'fack' for 'fuck'

My goodness some niche accents on this thread. Eg, The population of Orkney and Shetland combined is less than 50k so if posters from outside Scotland get those I'll be very impressed indeed.
