Cynthia:-Can you get the English Soap "Eastenders" or
the Scottish detective programme"Taggart" on Tivo?That
way you will find out how SOME of us speak.Others are more posh,as you will know,if you have been here before
I have been surprised at how well Barbara Windsor has done in the B.B.C.Programme"Eastenders".She used to be the blonde bimbo in the series of"Carry On" films.
Glasgow and London are cosmopolitan cities like New York.The accents are really muddled,compared to the rest of the country.
