Uhm.
I get mistaken for being human, it's quite inconvenient
German, Polish, Slovakian, Russian, Bosnian and Irish.

I think it's down to my really short hair and nose, weirdly enough.

When I went to Iceland on holiday, the locals thought I was Irish instead of Scottish. Don't know how they could mistake a heavy Glaswegian accent for an Irish one :laugh:



I think to a lot of people the Irish, Welsh and Scottish sound very similar. I can tell the difference though. :biggrin:
I get mistaken for being my dad's wife...

The Turks and Pakistani's are actually quite different, in terms of general appearance. You would be surprised.

I have people randomly talking to me in Punjabi or Urdu or something and I just stand there trying to say 'No, I don't understand' in Hindi because I learnt that from Indian dramas :lol:
