Match or not?

Hmmm...where is Jock Scot to say "In the Highlands we really don't worry much about matching!"

To my American sensibility, though, I think those hose will look splendid with your Black Watch kilt.

"Now, Brian," Jock says with his English accent, "don't get all wound up about this matching business."

LOL, Ted, the more I am here the more I agree that the whole matching business - with Highland attire, at least - is highly overrated.

I'm also guessing that Jock would address me in a Scottish, rather than an English, accent

Brian

Unless that fight Jock had with the tree changed it, Brian, I'm sticking with English accent.

Gosh the tree! How could I forget that! Brian, Ted has the advantage over you------we have spoken on the telephone. The accent is English, sorry.

No worries, Jock. I hope I can be forgiven for thinking someone residing where you do, and who seems to have deep roots there, would speak with a Scots accent rather than an English one. In any event, I think most of my compatriots wouldn't know the difference, nor would they care *sigh*.

Brian I am am one of those Scots that was educated in England. I am told that I lost my Scots accent when I was about ten years old.
