I once convinced an American that in the UK, due to an eccentric former king, we do not have Wednesdays, but two Tuesdays instead - i.e. Monday, Tuesday, Tuesday, Thursday...

She loved our quaint little differences.

Don't be silly.
Everyone KNOWS that the REAL Scotland is a small town in Pennsylvania.

I met 2 american girls a few years back and one of them thought wales was "somewhere in england." I thought it was in my long term interests "not" to play the :smart: and correct her .


Nothing will beat my Las vegas lap dance club experience though for tumbleweed moment .I've told this b4 here i'm sure so to tell the same story twice in forum land is surely a little sad.....
But anyway, this fit strippa asks me and my buddy where we are from. He says new zealand, i say England. She says "Oh really, (sounds interested and mildly enthused)?! What language do they speak there?"

I was slightly confused by the question, and looked over my shoulder - presuming she was speaking to someone else. When i realised there was no one else behind me, i apologetically had to say - "English".
She quickly realised her fundamental oversight, and all parties were keen to move move the converstation onwards.
