I'm terrible with recognizing accents, and until I was 16, I was convinced Newcastle was in Scotland. I knew loads of people from Newcastle and whenever they told me where they were from I used to say 'Oh, your Scottish then?!' Not one person corrected me on that! I took 6 different people and three different atlases to prove to me where Newcastle is. And I still think they must have moved the border!
