No hope, believe me.

As Daz has pointed out, there are enough differences in dialect that you might be able to adjust to a Glaswegian's speaking, but an Aberdonian will have you scratching your head.

P1M's use of 'ya' can easily turn into 'ye', 'yi' and even 'youse'. And I notice he uses 'frae' in place of 'from', but I've several pals from Glasgow and the surrounding areas that would say 'fae', rather than 'frae'.

I, for one, find the varied dialects one of the treasures of Scotland.
