There is an easy way to find out. It was very successful during WWII when detecting German spies who were trying to pass themselves off as English gentleman.
You must first engage them in conversation. If they are well-trained they will at first be reluctant to talk to strangers, but a comment about the frightful weather we've been having recently should elicit a response. Following that express your hope that things will brighten up in time for the start of the cricket season. A lively conversation will ensue about cricket, during which you may let slip a passing remark about Dudgeon's wonderful double-century in the 3rd test against Australia at Wagga Wagga during the winter tour of '27. If the fellow you're chatting with says "Dudgeon? Surely you mean Wibble, and wasn't that at Trent Bridge? And if I remember correctly, didn't he score a hat trick for Accrington Stanley against the Woolwich Arsenal in the FA Cup Final? And wasn't it in the summer of '30?" then you know for sure he's an Englishman for no foreigner could have spotted such a subtle sporting error. Of course, you yourself are now in danger, for the gentlemen will have recognised your error, and suspect you of being a German spy. You must immediately draw your service revolver from your holster, and shoot him dead on the spot, taking care not to scorch the cuffs of your tweed jacket.
