I still don't think he was quite as hard to understand as those Scotts but he sure needs singing lessons in the worse possible way.

Maybe I picked a bad one. The Brits might be able to post a bad Geordie accent here. I could only find this one, they are sing All about the bass, I think

Yep, they don't speak English. This thread can be viewed as a warning to everyone considering to join the British armed forces if they aren't limeys.

It's rather odd, I don't have so much problem with the Scottish accent, the Geordie is a linguistic adventure and most of the time it ends up with the same feeling as how Manuel must have felt in the Fawlty Towers.

Thank god my scouse accent is easily understood then. However, West Cumbria where I currently reside is something else! A simple phrase is, "ave yer e'er seen a cuddy lowp a five bar yat?" To us non Cumbrians, it translates as, "have you ever seen a donkey jump a five bar gate?" its like a completely different language!

I have found how the Scots, Scousers, and the Geordies sounds....I will find how the Cumbrian sounds.

You'll find Cumbrians put "eh" at the end of every sentence.
