Default LOL@ABC News (American) they know england so well...

Jus watching ABC world news and it had a story about the floods in Cornwall...

"There was flash floods in England today just South West of London"

Or the exact opposite side of the country

When they shown the video footage of some lil village in cornwall underwater the caption underneath actually said "London"

I know they used to 300miles aways being just down the road, but its a bit different here!

Hey, be happy that the Rednecks in this country even know about England! They're so backwards they probably think you guys are still the "Red Coats"!

Red coats? Like the piss poor entertainment at Butlins? (sorry, joke only engish people would get, and not even very funny to us )

Was quality tho, caption said "London" and was this tiny cobblestone village with about 10 houses in a steep valley

It was like a TV version of the old Mark n Lard "London Village" jokes (again, english joke thats not funny, or infact 2 english radio blokes who arnt funny)

Right, im off to Hollywood to see the President and the Satue of Liberty

Stu, it's unfortunate that the Media and or movies almost always show London, so most think about London when thinking about the UK. Just like when People talk about the US it's either NYC,LA or Miami. You don't hear about Red Oak in Iowa.
