Thats ok, no offence taken - I've not lived in Liverpool for a while but still here all the 'jokes' as soon as I open my mouth. Still I like my accent and I know that someone has to be the brunt of a joke.
See what you mean about the stereotypes, they do treat the Russians(or anyone from that neck of the woods) badly here. I've found anyone blonde is assumed to be a pole dancer or such like and because I am dark, its assumed that I am Cypriot - makes me chuckle when English people speak to me verrrry slowwwly and I answer them in a broad scouse accent. Oh such small things brighten my day. I need to get out more!
