I Have a Foreign Accent?

Over the past few weeks, I've been told I have a British accent. Now, since I have relatives that are from the United Kingdom, I know for a fact that I have an accent. I still am not entirely sure why I have been told I have an accent but I believe it's because I pronounce every consonant clearly. I don't chop of letters or have the typical Brooklyn/Long Island accent. It doesn't bother me that people tell me I have a British accent. I simply find it funny how I could possibly have one. I don't sound the slightest bit British, in my opinion. But if it means that I have proper diction, I'll take having a "British accent."
