re: Londoners try to name the US States

A lot of Americans wouldn't get half the states right.
A few years ago I was at a Mardi Gras parade with a friend from London. It was pretty obvious to those around us where he was from because of his accent. A redneck teen and her kin were having a heated discussion near us. The girl turned to my friend and demanded, "Where is Vermont?" My friend, confused of course, says, "The state?" She nodded and he said, "The northeast." And she says, "That's wut ah thought!"
I've never been more embarrassed for my country. Especially since my London friend is probably one of the most intelligent persons on the planet.
