Maybe the Filipina wives living in England should consider moving north of the Border, as - with a few exceptions [e.g. the pure Doric] - the dialect up here is, by and large, clearer and much easier to comprehend than the many different regional accents to be found in the south. And possibly one of the main reasons for this is because we tend to speak slower. But then, I'm probably biased ... as well as being a trifle hard of hearing.

Watch out for the "mumblers" though!!!
