I literally have no specific accent, I think it's just a 'neutral' one but idk ask Dan, Armand, Lucas or Luke I guess?

When people guess where I'm from they usually say South England even though I'm from West Midlands

I’ve put Scottish but where were the Aberdeen/Glasgow/Dundee/Edinburgh options instead of lumping us all together

Chances are I sound nothing like Parmnion

Because me accidentally lumping Irish with British accents on a poll for convenience is me insulting your history. That’s exactly the sort of thing I’d intentionally do isn’t it.

Yeah seems like it is since I've said it you so many times yet you carry on doing it, so you are either doing it on purpose or are stupid, I don't think you're stupid

For convenience on a poll with limited options more like. Why would I be deliberately trying to spite Irish people?
