    I guess most people are unaware of this until they actually spend some time in the UK. I’m glad you are fond of the Scottish accent. I would like to take some credit from that! Stuck Out Tongue Winking Eye)

    You make an interesting point too, that accent is associated with cultural stereotypes (some nice vocabulary there – dwell on, cunning, stingy etc. Well done)

    Children can be mean – but i guess they learn it form adults! I hear that word a lot, especially in the north …

    Anyway, I am happy you are not bothered about your accent anymore – I am sure i would never understand the difference between bène and béne Joy

    Notes:

    – Here it sounds more natural to use ‘would’ – in the meantime Scottish people WOULD make fun of Asian people living there…

    (Were used to needs the ING form after it, and the meaning is slightly different.)

    – Please review the past simple. This is a quick reference: https://www.ef.com/wwen/english-resources/english-grammar/present-perfect-vs-simple-past/

    Once you’ve done that, can you tell me which verbs you would change in your post?
