Just before we got married hubby worked for 7 months in Houston, Texas. One day the conversation in his office got round to the UK. Hubby asked the three people he was talking to if they knew the four countries that made up the United Kingdom. The answers were:

England (good start)
London (erm...)
Finland (....)

They gave up after that. As did hubby! He was gutted as he's a Scot so you'd think they may have had a little clue to at least one other country eh? Even more worryingly these were all PAs to Vice Presidents of the company so were dealing with people from all over the world every day
