You probably believe that,  but to people who aren't from Edinburgh,  that's pretty much exactly how folk from Edinburgh sound.

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.

That is my point though. My Geordie accent sounds like a fantastic imitation to anyone else. But a Geordie would have me sussed in seconds, because I don't sound like an actual Geordie.
