Some glaswegians are completely understandable! and i often find myself using several different styles of speech at work delling with customers,
i can go from being a non educated delinquent to a very well spoke young man, within seconds, lol the joys of the scots accent!

The only accent I have bother with is the Aberdonian's esp. Fraserburgh and Peterhead - got clients up there and I'm the only one in the office who can understand them!

Being bored one evening I switched on the television and was greeted with an overly familiar half hour of nonsense, otherwise known as River City. The Aberdonian woman on that has a very strong accent, which isn't helped very much by the fact that the producers have obviously decided that the best way to attract viewers is to allow her to use Aberdonian slang so as to make her incomprehensible to the majority of the population, thus disguising the awful dialogue.

Never heard of River City (guess it's Glasgow based) thanks for the warning if I were ever to stumble upon it.
