Of course you can't understand it.  It's not English other than the occasional "yeah" and "sure".

They may as well be saying,

"Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe."

Which is an actual English poem.

 

A bad day at golf is better than a good day at work.

The video is not using actual words, it's just using false sentences to explain how we hear things. It's about how the accent washes over us. Of course, it won't make any more sense to those with the same accent, because it's aimed at Brits.

It's trying to give you the impression of the accent, not for you to use to practise your own accent in a different voice  Grin


Yes... they are talking nonsense. It took me a few sentences to get it... I thought at first they might be Welsh or Irish.  Cheesy
