Overheard at Edinburgh Castle
One of the best American bloopers I ever heard about was recalled recently in the Scotsman Newspaper - in an interview with a steward who was retiring after working at Edinburgh castle all his life, he was asked what the most bizarre thinh he had ever heard a tourist come out with his reply:
Two Americans standing at the Castle battlements looking north to Fife across the Forth of Firth (merely a few miles away)
"Hey look honey I never realised that you'd be able to see Holland from here"!!
- Once also whilst in California in 2002 I asked a 30ish year old School Teacher from New York how the city had changed since the 911 attacks - her incredibly surprised reply, which still haunts me to this day, "Oh my, YOU heard about that in the UK??" to which her friend, also a teacher, said "Oh yeah they would have - their TV is really good"
Original teacher then said "Oh cool"

Bless the U.S!
On a bus ride to San Francisco we (two Scots) were talking to two girls from New York when the conversation inevitably turned towards September the 11th. "Oh!" they exclaimed " You guys heard about that then?"
In Florida a waiter at Pizza Hut was rather excited to hear we were from Scotland, seems he had always wanted to go there and see the Red Square.
According to a Texan we met - Edinburgh is in the south of Texas must have been the southern drawl that gave it away.
