TranscriptA threads post saying "There has never been another nation ever that has existed much beyond 250 years. Not a single one. America's 250th year is 2025. The next 4 years are gonna be pretty interesting considering everything that's already been said." It has a reply saying "My local pub is older than your country".

The first part is believable, you are talking straight out of your ass for the second. No one, not even the most inbred, hillbilly, hicks, would think "USA" when they hear "London".

And before anyone starts with "well there are lots of stupid people in the world, I can see this happening" no you fucking can't. Because NO ONE would associate London with the US rather than the UK.

    You seriously overestimate your countrymen. We were just about to cross the Canadian border, if that helps you wrap your head around it. London, Ontario was some ways north. We actually went through it for the laughs, after the interaction with the moron. 💛

    I guess youve never been to Kentucky.

    We went to Kentucky. A nice fella who we played EVE Online with back then invited us to swing by for BBQ and Bourbon.

    Didn't really hang about otherwise though so can't comment on the average local's temperament. We had a lot of ground to cover :)
