I'm not being mean, I'm just curious. Do people from Scotland really sound like this...? Or is it just this guy? I couldn't understand half of what he was saying...

"I see a man egress from that vehicle from the passenger's side...?"

Huh? I had to look it up. It means "to emerge..." Wow, I learned something from YouTube!

It's one of the more heavy-duty accents, but it's real. As for his choice of words, I think he was just trying to speak as an 'official' as police and firemen over hear tend to do when they're talking to the media.

(Over here, the cops don't say, "He got out of the car." They say, "He exited the vehicle.")
 
Sounded OK to me I could understand all of it. The egress bit as gsdx says is just a bit of clever speak that doesn't fit too well with that Scottish accent. There ar4e in fact many different Scottish Accents and that one was quite mild.
 
I love the accent and could understand every word. I watch "Taggart" so I have been educated.
 
Yes that is how Scottish people sound like. :rolleyes:

In fact, there are certain Scottish accents that can be a lot more thicker than that. He was speaking quite clearly in my opinion.
 
That's about the most I can handle when it comes to accents, but I did understand it. (it reminded me of Trainspotting)
 
He was actually speaking in accent only; if he had used Glasgow "patter" you wouldn't have understood a word.

Gonnae no' get yer knickers intae a twist!
 
I could understand it quite well. When I went to Scotland I could understand most of the locals, it was only when a group of guys had a few drinks and were talking quickly in a group that I couldn't understand. There are a lot thicker accents than this one. The expression "it was on flames" was used by both the reporter and the interviewee. Must be a local interpretation of "it was on fire" or "it was in flames".
 
I know a guy with a stronger accent than that, and he hasn't lived in Scotland for a while, as far as I know.

I agree with the above , being from that area, yes indeed glasgow accents can be much stronger and many people fro Glasgow use a lot more slang.
He was very clear actually.
 
yes i think it is the guy from chewing the fat doing the voiceover
 
yes in scotland we would tend to say "in flames "rather than "on fire", but it is descriptive, and shouldn't be difficult to interpret.
