I have trouble with Scots sometimes too when it comes to understanding them, especially the Glasweigans. Im alright 90% of the time but if the accent is really, really thick it'll go over my head. I understand that video, but not much of the first minute or two I have to admit. I think thats because there are so many voices though, over the top of one another.
Purely Belter (and Billy Elliot for that matter) is set in my part of the world, or not far away at the least. Im from Sunderland but I live roughly in the middle between Sunderland and Newcastle. Ive tried to show people from abroad Purely Belter before but they couldn't understand enough of it. My cousin said most of it went over her head but I think any thick English regional accent confuses her.
