Title: It's on the tip of my tongue
Post by: Highlander on August 08, 2014, 21:45:51 PM

I have absolutely no idea why this has started troubling me, but troubling me it certainly is.

If, in the unlikely event, that when in Calis I say "I'll have a gin and tonic please" it will sound totally different if, for example, my dear friends Anne (from Glasgow) or laffa (fromLiverpool) had said the same.

My very "simple" question is why - what is it that makes the difference   :)

Is it that a proud Scot may "mumble" slightly when having to say the word "Gin" instead of using the word "Malt"???

The difference is accent??  However I have it on good authority that the Inverness accent is the purest.

As for whisky .   It is our version of Raki..we make it for the tourists!!!
