believe it or not.Something like that is very common. I'm from Cumbria myself and have been called Scottish, Irish and Geordie.
Best story comes from my mate who was chatting to a lass when she asked about his accent.
her: that's a really interesting accent, where are you from?
mate: Cumbria, up in the north west?
her: Scotland then?
mate: no, bit further south than that.
her: Newcastle??
mate: No, have you heard of the Lake District?
her: Ohhh, I've heard of that, that's in Sellafield isn't it?
I nearly wept upon hearing that

I admit there something rather exotic sounding about Cumbria. The pause that followed her outburst was just brilliantly filled with suspense though, as the entire audience around us realised what she's just said...
