But, as has already been said - it is a great conversation starter!

Ever since I moved here (NC) from Liverpool, I've had my correct place of birth guessed maybe twice. Almost everywhere I go I get asked whether I'm Scottish, Irish, Australian or even from New York City! . I gave up trying to explain ages ago and am tired of having to say "You know, where The Beatles were from" so now just answer 'Yes' to anyone who asks if I'm from a particular country. I guess that's going to confuse some people now that I'm going out kilted more and more -

"Hey, did you see that Scottish guy in the kilt over there?"
"You mean the Australian?"
"No, he told me he's Irish"
