I have just returned from a weekend in Bath.
Getting on the train to go down, we found our seats, and sat down.

Several minutes later, an American couple (I'm not into America-bashing - I find it rather odious - but this couple did happen to be American and it's relevant) asked us ... sincerely ...

"What does a "Reserved" ticket on the seat mean?"

They don't use trains much in some parts of Americaland and there are always different rules.
In Japan, for example, you buy a ticket for the Bullet train and have to buy as reservation for a seat in addition - that caught me out a few times.

But, more importantly, what were you doing in Bath? One of the best cities to begin with B in the U.K. (after Bristol).

Hahaha
A dark graphic novel about Norton.

I was once sitting outside a pub in Norton with my mate and some girls came over that knew my mate. I said something - I can't remember what, but it must have had a polysyllable in it or something, because one of the girls looked me up and down, eyes aflame, and hissed accusingly at me "Ur yew intelligent or summat?!"

You'd have thought an American would have known what a reservation was, they make their indigenous population live on them.

Well precisely.
Being British, I was far too polite to point this out, however.

Hmm. An unimaginative pun, overshadowed by impatience from the desire to insult, resulting in premature release.
3/10.
