There were almost 60 million people in the UK in 2003
Well, in that case, as Reese knows, we therefore know them all.

the problem i have with americans, is that when i tell tell them i'm from the uk, they inevitably ask if i know "colin from luton", yes i know that the uk is smaller than most of their states, but there are still approxamatly 24 million people in the uk...most of which, i still have not met :shock:

Goes both ways, in my experience. On my very first trip across the pond to the UK, one of Vix' workmates asked if I knew Denzel Washington. Told her I did, of course...and then Vix & I spoofed a Valentine's card from Denzel - replete with personalized, autographed photo - and posted it to her from the 'States.

and did she fall for it ?
In 1981 we were coming back from doing a stint as the Belize guardship and we were lucky enough to stop in a few ports on the East coast of America on the way home. One of the ports was a place called Wilmington and whilst in a bar one night a girl asked us where we were from. When I told her I was from Blackburn she asked if that was near Liverpool. Yeah, I said, not far at all. She never left my side for the rest of the night.
When I eventually got back to her place it turned out that this girl was an absolute Beetles nut. Her bedroom had posters and Beetle's memorabilia everywhere. I could have been anybody, the only reason I was there was because I'd told her that Blackburn was close to Liverpool. Bloody good job we didn't have a scouser with us.

Sadly, yes...
...to be fair, though, the photo we did was rather convincing. Quote by Rainbows
CAN identify!!! I come from a country in SouthERN Africa. Try telling someone that it actually isn't in SOUTH Africa - which is a totally different country and I might as well be speaking - ummm - Welsh?
Best was an American telling me how much she likes us Australians. And when I said I was Zxxxxean and not Australian - she just looked at me and said "well I still like you Australians"
Wow someone whom knows me alerted me to this thread i missed it on my travels!
I too am from SouthERN Africa
Africans i meet at work don't believe me until a passport is produced, i have been in England for 30 years so have lost most africaness about me
Others just get confused!! I'm from Zambia in southern Africa not South Africa, after much explaining it is sometimes just easier to concede defeat and say "yes i'm from South Africa!!"
And when i go to antipodean bars it is just easier to put on my Springbok gear and be a saffer! Plus it starts conversations bump into lots of saffers and start conversations, whereas if i had my Zambian gear on i'd continue to be Billy no-mates!!
Also it makes people assume you are black when you only know them by e-mail and you tell them you are african

LOL - not a hoax - I am live in Scotland and have been fully integrated into my local envirnment. However I'm from Northern Ireland - which is why I have British and Irish Passports. Like many NI folk I struggle a little bit with my national identity - especailly as I come from a mixed family.
CQ - wishing she came from an exotic British Dependancy like Montserrat.
okay... i am really going to confuse you... you'll never guess which lovely exotic british dependancy my mum if from....
:D :D remind me to take you the half of the island note still covered over by the lava from the volcano...and to think i use to look into it as a child.....now the confusing bit.... even though it is very much a dependancy and you are automatically entitiled to a british passport.. it is called the emerald isle... mainly because of it strong irish roots.... actually most people on the lovely little island are entitiled to BOTH a uk and irish passport..... :
