Any Scottish people got an Amazon Echo?

[loeylo]

... can it understand us?

I'm Lanarkshire if that matters (which it probably does as I'm sure more refined accents would work better!)

Basically I have read mixed reviews and I want to find out if it's worth it before I buy one.

my friends have one, we're ayrshire and she understands them pretty well! i'm tempted to get one because when i was at theirs i was so delighted that she understands me

i'm moving to lanarkshire in the summer as it's where i work!

[babyv13]

mrsmurphy2be! where are you?

i work in south lanarkshire and will be moving to EK in hopefully july-ish which will be good because i've got an hour drive each way right now which sucks.

 

[loeylo]

We should do a Lanarkshire meet up!

 

[babyv13]

i'd be up for it once i've moved! all my mum friends are in ayrshire so i feel sad to move further away

 

[CaptainMummy]

[Cupcake9596]

[loeylo]

Okay this meet up deffo needs to happen. I'll start a thread at some point. I honestly thought I was the only one here from Lanarkshire 🤓

 

[cindersmcphee]

I have bought one for hubby for xmas. Hadn't even thought of accent. I am also lanarkshire, sunny Airdrie.

 

[loeylo]

After all this my fiance told me he thinks they are pointless and a waste of money! I had already bought it at the time.

My dad had been dropping hints at one and my mum was stuck for his present so I'm just selling it to my mum to give my dad so no harm done ... but now I'm stuck for my fiancé!

Budget around £70, he is into technology (he has an Xbox and I got him a sound bar last year, he just got a new iPhone) Star Wars, dinosaurs, lego, he drinks a totally embarrassing drink (we will call it red wine, lol) and cider - any ideas?!
