Another Aber-ite! I did law there, 1987-90. As for me, grew up in London, moved to Aber to go to Uni, lived in Telford for a while as I was working for a software company there, then moved to sunny Preston (surprisingly, it actually IS sunny at the moment!).

ok, i'll clarify what i said. North East accent i don't have a problem with, my family is all from the country, which is much softer than the town. The toonzer come doric garbage that you heard in town really gets on my nerves some times. Women that talk that this especially annoy me.

I was born in aberdeen and have spent all my 26 years living there, so i'm not some outsider (or "white settler" as my granddad would have said) who thinks he is better than the rest :)
