My son has just come back from a business trip to America and these two of the questions he was asked while over there.
"My god you're from the UK how quaint do you know John", he had to explain that there's 59 million of us over here.
He was very close to where our Queen was visiting and he was asked "were you on the same flight" unfortunately he was a bit naughty and replied yes, and said he had a drink with them on the plane.
Is that John with the dog or John thats into hang gliding? :D:D
Reminds me of the story about when my cousins from northern US came to visit us in Texas. They thought we rode horses to school and were disappointed they couldn't ride em..
When I was in the Navy, I had a guy ask me, after he heard that I was from Texas, how many oil wells I had on my ranch...( Yea, right!! If only!!)
I always thought there was only one John, and he had really bad teeth and drove an MG...... :confused:
A few years back, I ain't saying how many, I was in Boston and a person found out I was from Iowa. He made a comment about probably not having indoor bathrooms and further thought we still fought indians out here.
No, that's Neil, John drives a Rover.Quote:

Are you sure he wasn't asking about Jon? It sounds the same but spelled differently. And EVERYBODY knows who Jon is!
