The person who told you that probably isn't British because he "would of" known you are british. Takes one to know one.
he lives in England, im pretty sure most of them were
53, The person/people telling him everything may be someone who recently moved to England. Or they may just not know that "northern" british people have different accents than "southern" british people.
*"would have"
@79 Here in London, you're more likely to hear someone say "would of" than "would have". Was trying to make a joke, but I guess nobody got it. Also, it's full of different races so sometimes you don't hear a proper British accent.... *sigh*
People's obsessions with spotting fake accents is annoying. Not everyone talks the same. Even in the same country there are variations of accents.
Except Canadians. Thats more like a lack of an accent.
I don't even understand the "out and about" thing. I've heard americans say it and it sounds the same.
@18 I live in Canada, and I can hear that Canadians do have an accent, very different from other countries
I'm Canadian and enjoy saying 'opt and aboot' a lot! I was even told once that I sounded British. I didn't think my accent sounded like that! Lol
aboot sounds like it might sound Scottish...
My farts have a Turkish accent.
don't feel bad, I have a irish accent and people think its fake because they've never really heard a real one because im in canada
Completely off topic, but I simply cannot hold this in any longer. You are one of the most beautiful and adorable young ladies I have ever seen! You have the prettiest shade of blonde hair, your smile is so genuine and happy, and you look so lovely with your braces. The fact that you own your own cupcake business just adds to your already cute persona. Plus I admire you for being a hard-working teen and for owning your own business at 16! I truly hope that you don't take any of what I have said as me being a 'creeper' or anything of the sort. And I am not a 'pervy adult' trying to 'lure you in'. I really hope that this brightened your day rather than creep you out. Also, I really hope that this comment does not get thumbed down. I am merely trying to compliment a lovely young lady. And if doing so gets me thumbed down, then so be it. I'll stand by my genuine comment. It saddens my heart that behaving in this sort of friendly manner is so often frowned upon when it should be promoted. I wish you all the luck in your cupcake endeavors and in every other aspect of your life. Cheers!
I just checked out your website, www.cozycomfycupcakes.wix.com/cupcake, and it is absolutely adorable! Very appetizing, very colourful, and very well done! If your cupcakes, and the other tasty treats on your website, taste as delicious as they look, and I'm sure that they are, you will most definitely make it far in the confectionary world.
That was quite a mouthful. #17, I do believe this person up here seems to have you in high regards
Imagine therestof Canada when they hear my Newfie accient then. An Irish,British, french accent gets looked at as well.
Do not worry OP, I have the same problem. I was born in Cheshire also, and when I lived in America people blamed me for "faking my accent."
"blamed you for"... or "accused you of"? #grammarnazi
I know how you feel. I'm Trinidadian American and Americans think I have a fake american accent while trinidadians think I have a fake Caribbean accent. Neither of my cultures accepts me.

yeah, i feel your pain on that one.
I think you and my dad would get along. Americans think he sounds British, but British people think he sounds American. Poor guy doesn't fit in anywhere. :'(
Try an American accent
Why would someone even want to talk like an american? I live in the U.S. and don't want to because the people are rude, fat, and stupid.
#25, which American accent? Midwest, New England, Southern, Californian, Texan? (Just to name a few.)
80- I moved to Oregon from Arizona and I noticed the accent is pretty much the same but I say anything with "ire" in it differently. Such as tire, liar, etc. It's more..cowboyish haha. They also pronounce things a lot clearer here.
72 The "joy-zee" accent is interesting enough.
65, I am rude, not necessarily fat, not skinny though. And if I were stupid I probably wouldn't have noticed the stupidity of those around me. And I didn't mean to "include myself" with that. I intend to state the fact of basically the majority. Even though, I will admit that I said "all".
^actually, I didn't say "all". I said "the people". I didn't specify which people. So while I admit that it could be taken as the way you thought, I intended it as most.
^yes, but it makes them even more stupid than myself, so therefore I am still smarter than the other people.

Tsk tsk, some people, just tell them straight that you are indeed British and such. Not your fault that you talk the way you do, some people like to notice the smallest things. I hope you are not self conscious about the way you talk.. Good thing it was not worse though, they could have commented the way you walk or something Or the way you breathe
What a wanker.
