No, my point is this isn't a "bad" Edinburgh accent. To the rest of the world, it sounds about right. People usually can't hear their own accents.

But a Geordie would have me sussed in seconds, because I don't sound like an actual Geordie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
