geordies, cockneys, scouse, farmer (devon/cornwall), welsh, some scottish dialects are impossible etc etc. Just so much for it to try and get.

Glaswegian is just a drunken idiots version of Cockney really.

Isn't Geordie a different language altogether?
And Welsh... well, Cardiff English isn't really strikingly different from what we're used to...

Well, its a bastardisation of English for starters, you just add Jock accent for extra ambiguity and a whole lot of obscure rhyming slang. Then to top it all off, fill the average speaker with fortified wine and a bit of foetal alcohol syndrome from their 14yr old mother and that sort of explains itself.

Yeah
There's this thing though....
I have a total... fetish (??) for a Scottish accent. Not Galswegian, NO.
A nice, soft Edinburgh accent.
I have, on many occasions, gone out of my way, just to speak to Scottish folks.
Yeah, I'm weird

Not that sales cant leave you exausted at the end of the day. Meeting clients in person is one thing, called calling a bunch of names on a list...that can make you go crazy at the end of the day.

Definite issues once Mrs Punk finds out...
And mines about to come home with parents in tow so I'm going to go hide in the spa bath for a bit.
It was a good week really, I do enjoy teaching people even if it means being up until 11-12 every night sorting out my notes and speaking for 7 hours straight for 5 days in a row with the human equivalent of barely trained puppies as an audience. If nothing else a couple of them now have a bit of direction and ambition about their work so its nice to hopefully better someone's life.
