Absolutely not. I once struggled in a conversation with a man who had the thickest Scottish accent I'd ever heard. I spent most of it smiling, laughing and nodding as I had no clue what he was saying. Until he repeated himself and I realised he'd been telling me about the time he woke up to find his wife had died of a stroke in her sleep next to him in bed. I'd been laughing. The word mortified doesn't do the moment justice 
My husband reminds me of this often and thinks it's hilarious. Bastard  |

My accent changes depending on where I am. I love in the east of Scotland so I have that tone, however I work in Glasgow and have done so for years so I also have that tone and that humour. I've a hybrid accent.
The problem comes when I take this combination to other places with work, Ireland or newcastle... I never forget to bring a note pad and pen. |

Aw, bless you. Not too Scouse, either! (Us Wirralians aren't a fan of thick Scouse)  "
Neither are us scousers. Even we struggle with it sometimes, if it's too much. |

I've done similar.  I can't understand people with heavy accents. They think I'm taking the piss when I ask them to repeat what they've said. It's easier to just smile and nod.  |
