I have a hard time with their accents too man. I had to watch Snatch with subtitles on. Cool movie though.

The "I'm not sure if you're Scottish or Irish" accent is the only one that really gets me.

Same here, you just have to ask them to speak more slowly.
Americans are very nice to speak to over the phone tho.
It's not hard since we have quite the variety of people from the British isles here. You eventually learn to distinguish the regional accents too. My favorite past time is asking them if they are from Australia. It causes immense butthurt for some reason
