The thing about being scottish and living in another country, is that once people hear the accent, they just love to chat to you. Also, everyone, and I mean every single person you get introducted to, once they hear you speak, they try to copy the scottish accent. It makes me laugh. I bought a copy of the oor wullie and broons cartoons into the office and had some of my collegues try to read it out loud. Ah...the laughs we had that day!

A tip though for all Glaswegians.....tell people you're from Edinburgh and not Glasgow.....otherwise people screw their face up in disgust and horror. (Apparently Glasgow is a very violent place, full of drug addicts and alcoholics and pavements covered in vomit. Hmmm.......sounds familiar.....)
