Glaswegian mother-in-law. You should hear my wife and her 3 sisters when they get together - they become more raucous with time (and wine) and their accents become decidedly Glaswegian. Talk about a "mother tongue"

When I was working in Detroit one of the customer staff invited me to her husband's family thanksgiving which was both unexpected and very enjoyable. But the real reason was that his sister was married to a Glaswegian and the family could just about understand him when he was sober. After a few drinks; no chance!
Funny thing was he and I had no trouble understanding each other or the Americans even as the day wore on but it was obvious that after a couple of hours they could no longer understand either of us (I suspect I'd drifted back into my Irish accent by then).
Welcome from Cowra, NSW, Dr.G !
All the best with the lockdown..
But at least we have our pipes.
And yeah, I suppose our loved ones as well.
