Hi,

"I've been to most of the English speaking world, but I've never been somewhere where I can't understand people."

Talking of British accents, I am a scot born and bred, however there are a few of my countrymen that I really find it difficult to understand. If you have ever been up north you may have met Aberdonians who talk the Doric.
"The Scots language of the east of Scotland, which is called "Doric"is very different altogether and is almost unintelligible to most people other than those who were actually raised in that part of the country. To say that Scots is a form of English would be incorrect." http://www.siol-nan-gaidheal-usa.com/language.htm
Orcadians are another lot I never understand
