If the booking clerk was in a good mood they might ask if they actually mean Stratford upon Avon... I was asked whilst in America, when realising I was a Brit "Do you know so and so?", as if the UK only has a population of a few dozen..... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was asked that and the answer was yes! It was somebody I drink with. Happened at a bar in Las Vegas and neither the person I know nor the person I was talking to had any connection with Vegas. Just a coincidence. Jason 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My late father was back in the UK for his only trip back. The first stranger he had a conversation with, asked him if he knew a particular person who lived in Melbourne. The answer was yes, he lived across the road from my father! So not just Yanks. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was just a comic foil for Mannering. ARWs told people to turn light off or cover windows when they'd been left on during a raid. And I doubt there were many who wouldn't comply and threw bricks at the ARWs and chased they off with knives as seems to happen now with the police.

The difference being that in 1940 there was no wavering by the government as to whether blackouts were a Good Thing™ or not.
