I adore Scots accents. Thus, with his, 'branch' is 'brinch' and 'deserted' is 'dez-air-ted'. There is also an Irish one I heard where she can't say 'thirteen', it comes out 'terteen'. Love it. In our next lesson, we tackle West Country and Geordie.
"Jimbo, he go on him way, He come back some sunny day, He go home now."
The Scottish accent is 'trusted'. I recall when I left military service, changed careers and moved to Oz, I became a consultant psychologist in a prominent Consultancy. Part of my role was to 'sell' services to Industry, yet I had no sales experience and lacked confidence in making appointments. So I put on a Scottish accent !! It stood in for my otherwise British Southern. It was just so easy to get appointments to meet with executives and board members to tell them of what we could do for them. :)
