I understand there confusion, I mean if you don't sound English they know it is from somewhere in that region, but not sure where exactly;).

Re: Scottish?

They get confused, bless em..........put me next to a Scottish person and i sound absolutely nothing like one. I can't understand the confusion really.

Re: Scottish?
 

I get called everything, cos I deserve it! I'm Scots with an Irish accent.

So if anyone wants to buy me a pint today, yes I'm Irish, Happy St Patricks day.

If you want to discuss Northern Irish politics. Sorry can't help, I'm Scots.

If you want to call the Scots deep fried mars bar eating drunken louts, thats alright. I'm Australian.

If you want to call the Aussies backwards or selfish, no problem, I'm Irish. Now wheres that pint?

Re: Scottish?
 

Poms keep asking me if I'm South African.

When I ask them if they actually know any South Africans, 9 times out of 10 the answer is "No. But you sound just like one".

:confused:

Re: Scottish?
 

:confused: there's no way aussies sound like south africans, i think the aussie accent can sound english at times ive really got to listen to some people to figure out if they are aussie or english.
