That one is a bit old
Brits aren't always that bright when they come over here either, you know. A friend of mine from London was came over last year and was to be in the New York area for a few months. He emailed me before he left London asking if I could take a few days off to get together as he would pop over to my house (in Texas). I told him the distance would be too great for a quick drive than he thinks (it is about 2500 km between my town and NYC) and he thought I was just putting him off. Naturally when he got here, he called and said, "Bloddy hell! Your country is fucking huge! I had no idea."

Just goes to show, tourists are sometimes the same no matter where they come from or where they are going.
