I had a need to contact NS and I in Glasgow.
A twenty minute conversation left me scratching my head because I caught about one word in every ten. :-\
A soft Scottish lowland burr can be quite relaxing especially when delivered by (what I imagine to be) a sexy slinky girl.
The Glaswegian accent is different, and quite scary when delivered in 'see you jimmy' fifteen pints of 12% skullcrusher lager mode' ::)

That's why I never phone Sky TV....can't understand a word. Very embarrassing. So I use online chat :y

I imagine the conversation went something like this....
Lord Opti: Hello, I'd like to withdraw £100,000 please.

I think RBS and BOS are used to handling such amounts...... ::) ::) ::)
Normally as IOUs to us taxpayers. :o :o :o

It's not so much accents that get me, it's smart arses who talk at 100mph and don't actually listen. Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah, no probs, yep yep . . . . and get things wrong.
Many years ago I was sent on a sales training course, and one aspect of this was about telephone manner. Incredibly useful, not so much in sales but just generally, except when taking a call from " Microsoft technical support" from Mumbai or somewhere when I just shout loudly at 'em :D.

Be lucky Doctor Opti!
You only have the problem by talking to a strange call center.
I have this problem every time when I leave my home. I am a northern man from the North Sea coast (we called it "Waterkante" there) but I live far down southwest near Freiburg.
It is much more easier to talk English with an average Japanese than talk to the bakerman next door. . Badisch is a very strange language....

Clearly none of you have heard a Kerryman .......

It's strange how we react to regional accents.
Whenever I hear a scouse accent I automatically check my wallet. :)

No need to check, surely? You'd certainly be aware if that great lump went missing.

If you only knew how impoverished I am you'd show more sympathy. :'( :'( :)
