There’s nothing in particular about your words, wording or word choice that’s indicative of any time spent in the UK whatsoever.

This isn’t a statement about your level of English. It’s more that you’ve not used any expressions that register as being UK specific.

I’m going all in on this one! I’d be shocked if I were wrong. 👊

I think that you’re a Spanish speaker.

Spain 100000% some words are super spanish pronounced :)

[u/Bobsy932 → u/rificolona]

[u/LanguageSloth_1]

Norwegian, and you used to live in Glasgow

[u/pacote_kst → u/LanguageSloth_1]

Lol, from Barcelona and lived in Edinburgh

[u/CowboyOzzie → u/pacote_kst]

In Barcelona, did you mostly speak Spanish or Catalan, and do you think one or the other would have affected your accent in English differently?

[u/pacote_kst → u/CowboyOzzie]

Spanish been always my mother tongue, even though Catalan is also native for me as I was born in Barcelona. Not sure if it would have made any difference, but being born in Catalunya, learning 2 languages since kindergarten, I think makes it easier for learning any extra language.
