This is a question Amazing displays of ignorance

Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "My dad's friend told us there's no such thing as gravity - it's just the weight of air holding us down". Tell us of times you've been floored by abject stupidity. "Whenever I read the Daily Express" is not a valid answer.

Foreigners
Having a drink outside a bar one sunny Sunday morning, a dishevelled and quite houdish woman walked off the street to try to cadge (at first) a lighter from someone. She was clearly on a walk of shame. She chose a chap sitting with his girlfriend to pester.

"Where you from then daaaaarlin? Go aaaht last night? Where you from?", she cackled

He answered something about coming from Cumbria, gave her a lighter so she would move on and leave them alone.

But then she wanted a cigarette too. The guy said no, and politely asked her to leave.

"Fuck you then! Yeah? Fucking....and you're not even from here! You're from Cumbria! Fucking FOREIGNERS!"

believe it or not.
Something like that is very common. I'm from Cumbria myself and have been called Scottish, Irish and Geordie.

Best story comes from my mate who was chatting to a lass when she asked about his accent.

her: that's a really interesting accent, where are you from?
mate: Cumbria, up in the north west?
her: Scotland then?
mate: no, bit further south than that.
her: Newcastle??
mate: No, have you heard of the Lake District?
her: Ohhh, I've heard of that, that's in Sellafield isn't it?

I nearly wept upon hearing that

ha ha ha!!

I admit there something rather exotic sounding about Cumbria. The pause that followed her outburst was just brilliantly filled with suspense though, as the entire audience around us realised what she's just said...
