The UK isn't a country :-)
Your former PM's website described the UK as four "countries within a country": http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/+/http://www.number10.gov.uk/Page823
If it's not a country, what would you call it?
Its a kingdom, they try and sell it as one country to try and stop separate parliaments springing up- except wales and scotland have their own now anyway. Not that I talk a word of politics :-) its actually really tricky; did you know there is a difference between Great Britain and the UK too? :-) (I couldnt tell you but I know its something about various islands being included too- and I live here! :-)
How do you expect us outsiders to understand it, then?!? :laugh: This Wikipedia article is all I know about the political structure of the UK: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom
But at least I now know that Ireland isn't a part of the UK. Gosh, I feel dumb. :happy:0 -

From someone in Michigan State:
"You're from Canada? It must be cold up there."
For those who aren't in the know: Most of Michigan state is further north than most of Southern Ontario!
I doubt the person that said that was from Michigan. I am from Michigan - where, yes, I do often have just as much Canadian change in my pocket as American. No, I do not work for the Big 3 - although 90% of my family does or did at one point. I grew up in a small town - where, yes, pretty much everyone does know your name. I've experienced the weather of all 4 seasons in one week. I have used my furnace and a/c on the same days (honestly). I live in the lower peninsula, so to our great northern UP residents, I am a troll because I live under the bridge. They are Yoopers. Driving coast to coast is Port Huron to Muskegon. The list goes on....oh - and yes, it is POP. Not soda.
ETA - and yes, for the record, construction is an official season here.
Love construction season! Not!0 -
Oh, you live in the desert? It's 115 degrees? But it's a dry heat...
Yeah, just like turning my blow dryer on full blast in my face is a dry heat...
I KNOW RIGHT?! I hate people saying that! Who the hell cares that its a dry heat?! It still just SUCKS! Lol.0 -
Jamaica
"Say something in Jamaican" ...:huh: Jamaican is not a language dumba$$ it's called "Patois'!
Try watching The Harder They Come as an American-English speaker. Trust me, it's a different language! :bigsmile:
See what I mean. My point is we don't speak "Jamaican" just like you don't speak "American", our native language is called "Patois" not "Jamaican"...
I LOVe this!! I love "the harder they come" but Dancehall Queen"...now that's a favorite.0 -
But just like Canadians, you do say some words kinda funny...
Fush and Chups?0 -
I can't tell you how many times people think Rhode Island is Long Island.0

"Oh so you're from Washington? So you get a lot of rain then."
No, I live on the East side.
"Washington? So you're on the East coast." :explode:0 -
LMAO! I'm from "Hot"-lanta too! I always thought that sounded dumb!
I'm from Atlanta as well.
I hate whoever came up with that.
My husband is from NH, though....whenever we go up there, we'll sometimes run into old pals of his who ask where I'm from, because I guess it's obvious to them I'm not from NH.
And then I get treated like I don't have the brains God gave a gnat because, y'know, southern women are naive and fragile.0 -

YOu lived in Alaska for 5 years??? Wow, do people live in igloos? Is it dark all year long? Is it light all day long? Is it really cold there? (yes...it IS really cold! haha...other than that pretty normal!)0

"You are from Oregon? It rains a lot there!"
You're kidding! I never even noticed...0 -
S.F.. do NOT call it "Frisco"
If you must. It's better than calling it Frisco. you can tell when people are tourists or bridge and tunnel. they say either of the aforementioned.0 -
Iowa...Oh thats where they grow potatoes. Or Iowa do you eat anything other than corn?
Haha I grew up thereand was going to say the same thing. Or some comment about pigs and cows.0 -
Oh! You are Irish.
No Leprechauns aren't real
No I do not drink like a fish (not anymore anyways lol!)
And no... we do not have a donkey in the kitchen and I don't know Liam Neeson personally. (Wouldn't mind if I did though!)
and my pet peeve heheh (well not really a peeve more of an amusement)
IM IRISH TOO ! (usually meaning my grandfather's uncle's wife's cousin 3 times removed by marriage and aliens was Irish) hehehe0
