I don't see it as pretentious, but amusing, sometimes. The guy in the taxi said "I'm Scottish" in a great Californian drawl despite having never heard a Scottish accent before, let alone being able to recognise it (he thought I was German). I imagine he couldn't have pointed it out on a map either. I doubt you come across that way, but I didn't think he came off badly. He was lovely! It just made me giggle on the inside :-)

I don't think it's something anyone should get offended about, wherever they're from. If anything, this trend for Ireland-love must be very flattering to the Irish.
