Not trying to offend the Scottish men, but as someone not used to alternative English accents (such as Singapore etc.), when I first came across the Scottish accent, I found (and still do) it retarded. The only people I had ever heard speak like that are the mentally challenged.
Am I the only think finding this accent retarded?

You have to admit, it must be very frustrating for the simplest of these new age tasks.
Well you better say it to one of them, or better a few of them so they know.
Haha,,it is evident that many of us don't understand what they say (at least not the entire sentences) and a few (like me) find that accent just ugly. If I hear Italian or whatever, I don't understand but I wouldn't find it ugly; it is this Scottish English thing that I don't understand and find it as ugly as Vietnamese or Thai.
To me northern China accents, all shu shu shee, around like combination of brain damage and a speech impediment like Castilian Spanish. Mandarin is generally silly sounding. The Scottish accent of course varies by class and sounds nice to native speakers of English but it flows best in Scots Gaelic, an ancient and to recently the native language who's patterns are brought into English.
A name for the English in Irish or Scots Gaelic simply means ”thick tongued”. I guess some Glasgow city Scots took murdering English in revenge for what they heard too far.
