Pah, Scottish is above Geordie overall but not as a regional accent itself.

Problem is that Weegie Scottish sounds so vastly different from Edinburgh Scottish we might as well be speaking a different language - "haw pal, ah'll chib ye'ez aw tha noo ye bams" compared to "would you like a cup of tea my dear?".

I only regret that I can't remember half the phrases you come out with Mr VS, they're awesome, I doubt they'd sound right coming from me though unfortunately.

I call shenanigans- WTF is "Queen's English"? Assuming they mean Received Pronounciation then I would consider it the antithesis of cool. Unless you're Stephen Fry.

Very David Niven I have to say. I quite like it, but not in a sexual way you understand Will.

Go camp then, roll your esses. IIRC your voice is okay, received pronunciation is probably better than anything else even if it does stick out in some places
