I just have to tell you this because its so apt after all that has been said.

Was at work today (have been there six months now) was speaking to one of my colleagues when she suddenly said "Oh I forgot to tell you, Nige (her husband) had a new workmate over on Saturday and he's Irish and I really couldnt understand him at all" and I said "you do know I'm Scottish?" "Are you?" she said. So there you go even working with them for six months and they still dont know the difference.

Last week, a couple of females commented on my accent and they also knew it was Scottish. It happens often enough, but itd probably happen more if I wasnt a moody bastard and actually spoke to people. Oh well.
