I don't want to make assumptions about your nationality, but a lot of us Scots speak even faster . Although I come from a different compass point, I too am a shireling. It's either freezing cold or pouring with rain up here so we cannae hang about .He speaks so fast it actually makes my head spin!!!

Side note: If I could type at even a quarter of my talking speed I'd be over the moon!!
