When I went to the Moorings in Aberdeen, some barfly started talking to me in REALLY thick Scottish, and I replied to him about whatever it was, and he just looked shocked at me. Then he said to me something along the lines of "Goodness me, I thought you were a local scotsman until you began with your witty retort!" Obviously he said it in Scottish lingo though.

I want to know what part of the world my face looks like I'm from. :( Not knowing the origins of your surname or your heritage leads to a bit of an identity crisis.

I'd love it to be somewhere I'm not expecting.

I don't know why, but I sometimes read stuff an quotes pop into my head. When I read it this one popped in.
"There is a need that each of us should understand where they came from, what they are and what will become of them" - Wulfstan (d956) - archbishop of york

I have nothing of value to contribute other than that :lol:

Most of you have heard or at least seen me, so I'm not going to describe my appearance or accent.
If it sounds good, listen to it

You are not Eastern European dear,you're a Goth!

My name's French but nobody has ever made an assumption as to where I'm from. Some bloke in Derby once stopped me then guessed I was from Dudley when I spoke. Not far off but enough to offend me. :P
