Highland Scottish and northern Irish do sometimes sound alike but then that isn't too much of a surprise really is it?

I found myself in Govan in Glasgow once and found that I didn't understand a damn word anyone said. That is the only time I have been beaten by a regional accent although the black country tried hard.

On our honeymoon we met a couple from Gateshead and we couldn't understand a word the husband said. His wife must have been used to it because she translated everything half a sentence behind.

That is the only time I have been totally stumped. My husband from Yorkshire was also stumped and he had shared a house for 2 years with three guys from Sunderland.
