Quite accurate-  it's interesting that I've picked up the odd word here and there through the tv or whatever (e.g. Geordie slang from reading the Viz) but it still all boils down to me being an East of Scotland mink*.

 

(*Perth/Dondeh slang I borrowed from a Perth mate I knew at school)

East of Scotland-centric. Fife, Lothian and a bit of Angus.  Makes sense: From Kirkcaldy originally, moved to Edinburgh 16 years ago, wife from Angus so bound to pick up some of that....

See all the numpties saying “surprised at Lanarkshire coz I’ve never been there” and whatnot you do realise it’s pointing out where people speak similarly to you rather than trying to identify everywhere you’ve been in your life?
