It took a while to stop refering to people from the USA as Americans, because obviously, everyone here is American. I just made eye contact with two American women...
"Doo yoou speak ENglish?"
"Yes" (Do you?)
"Do you know how to call the United States?"
"Have you tried dialling 001?" (You see the USA had to be 001 so that y'all could remember, y'see?)
Actually I feel a little guilty, I just overheard them, they've had some sort of problem here, and of course, no one speaks ENglish.
BTW, the reason for the hashes are that this ####### internet cafe has some sort of clever sensoring software, although strangely, in some wierd concession to sussex it doesn't sensor "sex", but you can't visit any website with "####" in the url.
