Thing is though, I don't know anyone like that. We're a tiny little Island but people speak and act so differently from one end to the other. Down here in the West Country people are all "oooarrr, where'e me tractor, I wants a pastie", and life is quite slow. I think the rest of the world thinks we're all a strange mix of Cockney "Mary Poppins-style" cheeky chappies and Jeeves the butler. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Word police I agree with though. I'm from the South East, where we say Barhth, Farrst, etc, and here I get laughed at coz they say baaaath, faaast etc. Happens all over the world I expect.![]()
This pump dispenses gasoline, a fossil fuel. People who believe fossils are not real should put something else in their tanks.

I often wonder how Yanks get tarred the same as well. Besides being all patriotic and such, America is too big and people to diverse to be the same. Oft times the seemingly disregard for the rest of world is only because America itself is huge. Now if we were the size of just Texas then I'm sure we'd venture about to understand the "outside" a bit more than we do.
