Me not Scottish no!!!!!

I have a very strong Yorkshire accent and everyday i get called Scottish by the Aussie's.

SO, i wondered if you Scottish folk got asked if you were a Yorkshire man/woman!

Or got called anything else for that matter!

lol, I'm Scottish, but I get asked if i'm Irish most days lol.

Brisben

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.

Nu-Shooz

I've had it all actually....Irish, Liverpudlian, Scottlsh even American.

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.

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?

Vash the Stampede

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".

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.

Yorkshire, Scottish... It is all Greek to me

Yup, Scottish with twangs of American becomes Irish!
The best response I ever got to telling someone I was from Scotland was : you speak really good English!!

Don't know about your Irish pints Jackthelad, happy St P's Day, but I'll have a whisky if you're offering!
