What a comfort to know the man on the Clapham Omnibus would have got all the right answers.  noooo:

"Blair is an actor" sounded plausible.

What seems like a lifetime ago I was in Chicago and was asked where I was from. I replied England.

"Oh, that's a lovely place. I kinda thought so from your accent; I bet you're from Boston, New England, right?"

 doh:  It doesn't get any better, does it.

I was in America back in February, snowed in, in fact, in a little place (if there is such a thing in America) called New Berlin, close to Milwaukee. I was lukcy (or unclucky) enough to share the lift with the cleaner one day, now being English and living in Rotterdam, I guess I might be quite cosmopolitan, but anyway this cleaner guy must have released there were a number of non American staying in the hotel, and said to me: "so ya all come from Wisconsin then?" "No" say I, "I come from England, "so" says he, "ya all flew here from England?" "No", say I "I all flew here from Holland", "Holland" says he, "where is that?" "The Netherlands" say I, "The Netherlands" says he, "where's that?"  scared2: "Well" say I, "it's a small country real close to Germany", ""so that is over seas then?" says he.

Worrying, very worrying  noooo:

I was talking to a Dutch woman the other day, somehow we got onto optimism and a glass being half full or half empty…

She insisted the glass was ‘half full of empty…’   rubschin:

I was in Texas once and fell into conversation with some chap. He asked where I was from. When I said England he said "Oh, I don't speak English" and went away  rubschin:
