Sometimes I get asked by people if I'm from the United States here in London and I'm not sure that's a good or a bad thing. Anyhow, I went to the supermarket today and the check-out lady made me feel REALLY American.
(In America you use dollars and cents, but here in the UK people use pounds and pence)
Check-out lady: It's 8 pounds and 20 pence.
Me: I'm sorry, how many cents?
Check-out lady: 20 pence. We don't do cents, we do pence, darling.
We had a good laugh, but it made me feel like such a foreigner. :P
