Absolutely brilliant :-D But truth be told, Scots are the least likely to lose even a bit of their thick accents. I've come across Scots living in the US, Australia and England for over 40 years and still speak as if they left the day before.
There's a minister in America called Alistair Begg, originally from the Scottish central belt, who has been in the States for a good few decades and, despite some slight dilution, still has a distinctly Scottish accent. And Christopher Walken said the same thing about his mother, who was originally from Glasgow. His German father purposely lost his accent while his mother purposely maintained it.
It's a weird thing - some people are like sponges and just blend in, and other folk never lose it. Then you get the folk who lose it, but the moment they're on the phone home their accent is back at full strength.
One of my fave CtF bits. The wife and I were in Glasgow last week at Waxy O'Connors and the bill came to 24.80. We hud a wee giggle o'er that. Got more than twa cheese toasties too!
my Scottish ex got me into these guys. "They've even nicked the bailer. There's waiter pishing out all o'er the flair" still makes me laugh after watching for the 100th time
I never knew that up until about a year ago. When you hear him talkin normally in the first series in the studio thing i thought he was just really well-spoken haha!
@jemimallah Still Game started life as a stage show, with Ford and Greg making their first appearance as Jack and Victor in 1999, before progressing to Chewin' The Fat and then Still Game the series.
ha ha ha, 'it's gotta be a big big motor lassie!' 'nae danger mate' :) I was going to be the millionth person to point out that it should be titled "We'll aye come back and see ye" (we'll often come back to see you) but a cannae be bothered :) xxx
Aye mate, great clip, but the title should read, 'We'll aye come back and see you', as in, we'll always come back and see you. Think theres a song wi the same title...
@@Wishmaster787 when I moved to England from Scotland I had to tweak my speech because apparently my full Scottish accent was difficult to understand, I should have came with subtitles.
"Jellies" are "Scottish" for temazapam/diazapam tablets (they are capsules filled with a gelatinous form of either drug - very highly prized among Scottish druggies)
He's Scottish in real life withhe has Canadian-Scottish citizenship. He was born in Springburn, Glasgow he and his family left Scotland in the mid 1970s, and he spent much of his childhood in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, which has contributed to his distinctive accent, Scottish-Canadian. He returned to Scotland in the late 1980s.
