Well, I've been told I sound like I'm:
American Icelandic Dutch Australian Sweedish Danish Canadian
I am in fact from Scotland. I was born here and am living here right now.
What the hell is up with that? How does one pick up an accent? I assumed it was from your parents (both mine are Scottish). Seems a bit odd that so many people think I'm American. I did live there for a year or so, but I would have thought that living in Scotland 90% of my life would have given me a Scottish accent, at least a little. It doesn't matter where its on TS, on the phone or face to face. Nobody thinks I sound Scottish, or even English.
So the real question is: What is more sexy, a Scottish accent or my current "melting pot" accent?

I'm English but I spent so much time in the Far East that I picked up a lot of American words and phrases as well as learning to speak more precisely to make myself understood. Although my accent is English, the American words I often use really confuses people.
What's more confusing is people who try to pick up on the regional accent. Mine is a kind of posh South London (sawf lunden) accent although I actually come from East Kent.

:) Nothing commands respect more than a good strong scottish accent. Plus the ladies like it.

So, if my maths is correct, you lived in america for a year or so and scotland for 90% of your life... that makes you 10 years old? that explains alot..
Just kidding

WTF, French-Alabama? Do we even want to hear that?
I actually wonder what kind of accent I've got( no TS so you can't hear it), as long as it not Dutch( or any accent form the European mainland really) it's not to bad, I just hate a Dutch accent in English and I'm Dutch myself.
