So I was looking on twitter and a tweet was like
Where you from?
Essex
Oh so you know Joey Essex and the cast of Towie.
So I was just wondering when you tell them where you are from , has anyone ever said anything like that.

I got an "Oh really? You don't look like... You look totally Caucasian" from someone in Borehamwood last year :laugh:
Yes, we tend to look European and we don't ride camels :joker:
Or even in my own country, when strangers start speaking to me in Russian/Ukrainian, because they assume I'm one too (I guess because of my Romanian-Polish roots). :laugh:

Being Scottish all you ever get is warm admiration or bitter jealousy if the person is unfortunately English

"where" followed by "so do you speak french" is the most common combo.
