Martin Compston told Siri exactly where to go after the virtual assistant repeatedly failed to recognise his accent.
The Greenock-born actor uploaded a hilarious TikTok of him trying - and struggling - to set up his new laptop.
After attempting to ask Siri different questions so that the system could log his voice, the Line of Duty actor became increasingly irate when the computer could not understand him.

He became even more annoyed when his wife Tianna Chanel Flynn asked the same questions, which Siri immediately picked up from her American accent.
Then to his frustration, Siri eventually managed to pick up his voice - after he put on an English accent.
Taking to Twitter, Compston wrote: "The war between Scotland and voice recognition continues, one day we shall prevail."
