Re: Cheryl Cole accent - do you understand ???
Basically I can understand any English accent or dialect around the world pretty easily apart from really heavy Glaswegian. Whenever I watch something on TV with "trainspotting-ese" it takes me 10 minutes of blank staring before my brain can understand it.
A long time ago I sat with a Glaswegian in a pub and had to pretend I had an ear infection and couldn't hear - with his accent and the pub noise he could have been speaking a foreign language - I couldn't make out a single word. I was pretty embarrassed at the time.
