Amazing displays of ignoranceSandettie 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.

Stupid girlsI was out in Newcastle with a mate recently and we got talking to two girls on the roof terrace of a pub. My mate told them he was from London, so they instantly said, "Are you a cockney?"
Of course, dear, everyone in London is bloody cockney. He's not - he has an Oxfordshire accent which is about as far from cockney as you can get.
She then remarked how she'd never go to London because she's afraid of getting blown up (I assume by terrorists, as to inflate her even more would make her as big as the moon) and about how she would shake Peggy Mitchell's hand if she met her.
She wasn't best pleased when we pointed out Peggy isn't real.

Couldv'e been worseShe could've been one of those Londoners that think everyone North of Watford is a mound of dirt with a flat cap on the top that lives on benefits paid for by hard-working honest Londoners like them. Who mostly make a living from cash-in-hand work (either in the building trade, or their direct analogues in the City; the main point is they don't pay any of the fucking taxes they moan about wasting on "benefit scroungers")

Could have been worse.I used to work at a Renaissance Faire over here in NY. For those who've never been to such a thing, everyone pretends to be from 1600s England in order to sell overpriced crap to people. There are some interesting bits, like traditional art and music, but most of it's an excuse to sell crap.
The US has one more step in putting on such a show than the UK, that being we need to acquire accents of some sort. It never failed to make me laugh that everyone in the tristate area thought that every person in Victorian England, including the King/Queen and nobility, spoke with a Cockney accent. Counting myself, you might here two others in the whole thing not speaking like a Cockney on any given day.
