    Hi Robert, just subscribed. I think I have this issue nailed. It's entirely the position of your tongue during your pronunciation. Being a self-elocuted "sassenach" with an old school beeb-beeb-ceeb accent, I pronounce purple as _"perple"_ and burglar as _"bergler"._ My pronunciation employs a relatively flat tongue whereas yours, accentuating the depth of the "u" requires a substantial "dishing" of the tongue, by which I mean that you are lowering the central portion of your tongue whilst raising the peripheries. Simplistically, you're asking your poor tongue to perform some pretty Olympian gymnastics - my own attempts to emulate your vowel usage results in a similar oral catastrophe. My advice would be to stick to the more colloquially acceptable: "Yen noisy kant!" in order to avoid further confusion. 😛

    I married a Scotsman and after a while, fell into speaking in the brogue because of him. I can still speak in the brogue when I want to, and speak Gaidhlig somewhat, but I can’t pronounce “purple burglar alarm" while speaking the brogue. BTW, he died 20 years ago so it has been a long time since I was speaking the brogue with him… He is sorely missed!

    The last of the "old world" lines of my family was a Gloucestershire lad who emigrated through Bristol Harbor in about 1800, so the Scots part of my lineage has been here since at least the 18th century; but Scottish ancestry neither dies out nor thins out. With all the English, Irish, and what-have-you (on both sides,) I'm still somehow 49% Scottish by DNA count. I've got my MacDougal great grandmother to thank for such joyous pursuits as housecleaning from dawn to physical collapse every New Year's Eve, because that's clearly superior to champagne and dancing.

Subsequently, the lady was treated to the best of the best for days but she moaned and criticized everything. On a tour of the Highlands on the last day the lady was vitriolic. After treating her to lunch my friend drove to a railway station. Told the lady to get out of her car. The woman gasped, WHY? I want you to get out of my country NOW. (She complied.) 😂😂😂😂😂 Btw. The station was only 200 miles from where she was to catch her train back to London later. Her luggage was with her, ana. 🎉 Ana = as well. 😂
