Be prepared for loads of questions like " What part of Ireland do you come from"

Scossie

I was on a night out in Fremantle on Saturday, & I met a bloke who started firing endless questions at me all about Ireland this & The Irish that...
The IRA...
The History of the troubles....
Guinness...
The potato famine.... etc. etc....

I tried to answer as best I could, as I've read up a lot on Ireland over the
years, although I never actually got around to going there.

"So where are you originally from then?" he said.
"East Kilbride" I said.
"Where abouts in Ireland is that?" he said.
"About 7 miles south east of Glasgow" I said.

You're right Bordy. It happens all the time, although I can't see how people
could confuse a Scots & Irish accent!
They're totally different...

I got that the other day..."Oh thats a lovely irish accent"...I sed " am no fae ireland am Scottish' they sed Oh from England then.....I growled "grrrrrrrrr(need the effect) NOOOO SCOTLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "Is Scotland not in England!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" was their reply

"I'm not even gonna answer that sed I" and walked away. quiet;y seathing lol

No offence intended

Bordy

Whenever I get the "What part of Ireland are you from" now I just ask them what part of New Zealand do you come from.

Ive also had the Yeah but "Scotland is in England isn't it? " Biggy.

Gets right on my baps it does lol

I am glad to see i am not alone when it comes to peeps thinking you are Irish when you infact Scottish. It sucks....! I get so sick of it. The other one for me is "wow your accent isn't very strong is it?" My reply being..."If I was to talk to you the way I would at home ( north east Scotland) you wouldn't have a bloody clue what I was on about...hence the lack of accent.." I don't know.

Oh and have fun at The Loft you guys meeting up there...makes me sad to hear that as I lived just a street up from Ashton Lane ( Cranworth St) when i was at uni and working there etc....it was a local watering hole...! Have a drink there for me...
