And it goes both ways. When I worked in various shipyards around the country, it was with the Glasweigans and Geordies that each of us had to repeat everything twice before the other could understand it.
A year or two back, I was in Pitlochry, in a fish and chip shop run by a Russian. Some other Russians came in - dressed like they'd been in the hills. The guy behind the counter tried them on deep fried Mars Bars. Sadly, they didn't appreciate the local delicacy. So much for multiculturalism. (Or more seriously - at least they had a go).
