Close. Not necessarily the Queen but definitely their 3rd cousin once removed who they have never met
They have definitely moved on from thinking we all know the Queen, although I do occasionally get asked if I have met any of the Royal Family!!My response is usually asking them if they have met the President!!
As for the London thing, when asked where I am from I always used to say "Sheffield, a city 160 miles north of London", now I find myself saying "Sheffield, a city 40 miles East of Manchester" and that usually works now that "soccer" and particularly the Premier League is much more closely followed over here, especially after Beckham came over here.
They have moved on all right. I met some Americans last year and when I said I was from England, they asked me if I knew Robbie Williams. When I said, "No," they said "J K Rowling?" They would have been so disappointed if I had said No again so I said she was my cousin and based Harry Potter on someone we knew at school. That seemed to satisfy them.
God knows who would have been next on the list if I had said No.
RE: Thread For Anything But Football - Maddix - 25-06-2015
I just say "Yes I know the Queen, in fact the shoes I'm wearing right now were purchased from the 'Wynsors' very own shoe shop"
RE: Thread For Anything But Football - peiowl - 25-06-2015
When I go back to Sheffield, I spend the first 10 minutes explaining where Prince Edward Island is, that's it's not part of "America," that Canada is a separate country.
Then, I'll get:
"Oooh. It's Canada tha lives in does tha? Wey, our Mabel lives in Canada. She lives in Toronter. Mable Ramsbottom. Tha ant run into er az tha?"
RE: Thread For Anything But Football - Maddix - 25-06-2015
That's a rather condescending attitude PEI
Most of us know that PEI is an Island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, just off the coast of New Brunswick
I am also aware that Ulan Bator is the capital of Mongolia and one of the main exports of Malaysia is natural rubber

Here we go again. I was bloody joking around. Same way you were doing it with North Americans and the Queen etc. You really do have it in for me don't you? Get it over it.
Btw for the rest of you who can take a joke, although I used the vernacular for effect, I really have had those kind of conversations.
RE: Thread For Anything But Football - Maddix - 26-06-2015
What the f uck has got into you now ? Do you wear different glasses to read my posts ? Why don't you just block me then you don't have to take everything I say as though it's a dig at Your Royal F ucking Highness ?

RE: Thread For Anything But Football - peiowl - 26-06-2015
Not a fight thurnscoe. Can't be bothered with that name caller. I can come on here join in some banter but I better not say anything about Nuhiu or I'm "talking shit" and if I dare to parody Sheffielders I'm "condescending." What is it with him?
Well, at least one poster can see what's going on. Thanks, Owlskev. appreciate your "like."
Btw, especially for Maddix:
Canadians talking about England. Both are sat outside an igloo. Watching out for polar bears.
"So yer from England, eh?"
Takes a swig of his Moose light.
"Yes, from Sheffield actually."
"That anywhere near London, buddy?"
Finishes off the rest of his Moose. Opens another bottle. Screw cap you know. Latest technology for us Canucks.
"Bout 173 miles north."
"That's not far away. Geez. Bet ya know my ex who's moved back over there, eh?" Loud belch. Raw seal meat mustn't agree with him.
"She lives in somewhere called Soho. Never did find out what they do there, eh.
"Erm, I think they make knives and forks. If I'm over there I'll be sure to look her up."
Important note: it's a joke. Just made it up. not meant to be taken seriously. Canadians need not take offence.

Au contraire mon amis. I just have a sense of humor (note the spelling). Some appreciate it, others don't. And I don't care which shoe fits who(m?)
