My accent must be stronger than I think - for some reason I've had two Scots people over the last couple of days ask me whereabouts in Scotland I'm from - to which I've apologised and said that not only was I not born there, I've never technically lived there either, which was met with furrowed, slightly disbelieving brows.
I'm used to English or foreign people asking, but not Scots. I've always thought I had quite a mongrel tongue.

Oh, to admit that my Father sent me to elocution lessons when i was a kid, so as to get rid of my emerging Geordie accent, haha.

- (this was in a school in The Borders, so it kind of makes sense. My dad isn't a pretentious twat - he just saw an opp. within the curriculum to stem Geordieism)Nairn
