My OH has an Irish accent, which I dont hear now after 24 years, but I laughed the other day, as he spoke for the first time to his son in law in Canada and he could not understand my husband and told him to slow down when speaking. lol

yes Jane
you have a really nice friendly voice on the phone, I hate to hear my voice when I listen to a vidio or dvd with my voice on. It comes over real wearsider, but we people who come from the north east of England speak very fast.
since daughter no 2 moved down to Galashiels she has picked up abit of the accent and sometimes I don't understand what she says. even though she was born in England but was 2 when we came up to scotland
she has always sounded scottish.
OH comes from Lancashire , I don't hear his accent much only when he is speaking to his relatives on the phone is it noticeable.

SIL used to use 4 letter words like Shi!!!! when we first met him because thats the way all the students spoke at uni so he thought that was the normal way of speaking, but over the last 5 years his lanuage has greatly improved and no 1 daughter only has to correct him ocasionally especially when he say's a local place name, he speaks very good English now.
my grandchild will learn to speak 2 lanuages, Italian at home, and english
at grans and at school. my OH has been learning Italian for quite a few years now and is good at it.

I love the cornish accent Jane, When holidaying nr Lizkeard on the farm when I was little , I would ask my auntie Mary(mums friend not real auntie)
to sing she was in the local church choir and we used to go with the family to church every sunday while we were visiting , she had a lovely voice.

I sometimes wonder if she is still alive , I have a feeling she may not be as when my mum died the letters stopped, and her family never kept intouch,The christmas cards stopped too.

Morning all
just checking in before I do my daddy sitting then i'm off to the hair dresses
(to many SSSSS in that word ,I always wonder if I have put enough in.)

ArticBlonde
The people who come from Edinburgh have a softer accent than some one who was born say in Glasgow, infact, I have lived here nr Glasgow for 20 years and when I go into the city to shop , I find sometimes it is difficult to understand, it's a harsh accent.
The Park you mention is called Princes Street Gardens.
I go into Edinburgh every 2 months with the family history society to do research at New Registrar House.
I'm off now to get my coffee, and something to eat
BBL with my new hair do.

Just quickly popping back. Have got an appointment with GP about my water tablets - they have run out and he wants to see me as it was a trial for my night time walkabouts to the loo. They have improved the situation I must admit, I am hoping he will up the dose as I am still getting out 3 times of a night.

Will let you know how I get on later.

My daughter has just left to go to Cambridge for her interview at 2pm.I think I have more colly wobbles than her lol.

Bless her Jane, I do hope she gets on ok. If not, its good interview experience :))

Doctor wont up the medication as he is worried about it affecting my electrolytes, which in turn can affect my epilepsy, which I understand. But more of the same tablets and they are now added to my repeat prescription - so on them for a while then ! I am not allowed any tea or coffee or fruit juice after 7.30 and am to raise my legs to aid the flow of fluid from off my legs. That will restrict what I do of an evening. Wont be able to sit at my desk with my laptop nattering!

Found it is quite warm outside despite the dullness of it all.

Have just eaten two cakes - could not help myself. lol Well, better have a cuppa then before the 7.30 watershed!

*now where is the pint mug in the cupboard.........*
