Oh, geez! That explains it...
And Britain isn't cold, at least South of Scotland. It's the same temperature all year 'round. The grass is always green. I was so disappointed -- I was looking forward to that snowy Little-Match-Girl, Dickensian sort of thing.
One of the problems with the perception of British as not being cutting edge is that British people have familiar sounding names and I know I have found myself assuming they are Americans. When an article mentions Francois LaBeouf you can be reasonably sure the guy isn't from Omaha.
Boy does that sound familiar. As Twain said, "I have never let my schooling interfere with my education".
