If the Scots can understand the Glaswegian accent I'm sure they can understand the Black Country accent.

Is this sign for real or am I being like a sponge taking everything in :roll:


I understand (mostly) the black country accent - not too good with a really broad glaswegian though - not as easy as on Taggart!!

Bumped into a group of Glaswegian school kids in Switzerland once. For 5 minutes couldn't figure out what language they were speaking :oops:
Some mistakes are too much fun
to only make once.

I was at a conference in Glasgow with two danish collegues, on the first evening we were looking for a restaurant, some kindly local soul asked if he could help us - the only things we understood were "McDonalds" and "Burger King"!!! :wink: :roll: :lol:
