Will only drink twinings earl grey (with a smidge of skimmed milk) or peppermint decaf (NO milk !!)

Park the car in our garaaage darling (NOT garridge!!)

and will only buy the childrens school shoes from Ecco

(all above can be very equally cancelled out by some pretty disgusting habits though )

If (big if) we ever move back to Scotland, we will not be residing in Dundee purely so as the dc do not pick up the accent.

monkeymonkeymoomoo · 25/01/2007 11:00

The only tea in this house is Green, Camomile and earl grey,
We have no instant coffee just fairtrade posh decaf stuff,
The only booze I drink is Veuve Champagne, I sleep on white egyptian cotton bed linen, I only burn posh candles as the fragrance is much nicer, I still call my parents 'mummy and daddy' and...
... I live in a modest 3 bed semi

I can't hear a Dundonian accent, but DH can.

At a supermarket in Perth, he asked an employee where the microwave popcorn was. The chap had DH repeat himself twice.

DH walked away, later remarking, 'Sad Dundee chap. They canny speak English there.'

Yeah. Pot calling kettle black there.

itsmeNDP · 25/01/2007 11:07

np, my friend's gran lived in Dornoch (sp) and she had a very posh Scottish accent [puzzled]

expatinscotland · 25/01/2007 11:08

Too bad it tastes so vile, though .

Peppermint tea, that is.

I work in an office full of ponces. There's all this nettle, dandelion, peppermint, Yogi, chamomile and roobush tea all in the staff area.

itsmeNDP · 25/01/2007 11:08

np, am on he laptop so not near my email..... Will fire up the pc and check [sile]

expatinscotland · 25/01/2007 11:08

NDP
I started a thread on posh Scottish accents, and one poster wrote to the effect of, 'Is there such a thing? Really?'

itsmeNDP · 25/01/2007 11:09

expatinscotland · 25/01/2007 11:10

Dornoch's in the Highlands. Skibo Castle is outside of it.

We have a student from there and he's a lovely boy.

He just sounds like a Highlander, though.

nailpolish · 25/01/2007 11:10

BUT im not a snob, or a reverse snob

there si a difference

itsmeNDP · 25/01/2007 11:10

DH is (embarrassingly) fond of shouting 'Govan' at the top of his voice in a Rab C Nesbitt stylee whenever someone mentions Glasgow on the TV. I'm thinking of buying him a weekend break in Govan for his 40th birthday

nailpolish · 25/01/2007 11:11

dornoch is effin miles away! and north of inverness the accent is beautiful

itsmeNDP · 25/01/2007 11:11

I thought Dornoch was nearish to Dundee

expatinscotland · 25/01/2007 11:11

Make sure you buy him a suit of armour to go wi' it, NDP .

That's where the Home Office is, where I had to go to get one of my visas.

It was a hole!
