This morning as I was looking through my f-list I saw a meme on the LJ of rivertempest

1. Go to Google (or Yahoo) and type, "You know you're from (your state) when..."

This is an interesting meme, for me 'cause I get to know lot's of english funnies!

Of course, I only understood half of it :P

Both counties - like other areas have local words and phrases ... and often if you don't come from an area in England you can't understand it, either!

I did this meme. Was surprised by how many of mine where very true. Not a joke, but real life.

Like:

We panic when there is an inch of snow on the ground. (cause we only see snow once or twice a year so we don't know how to drive on it)

Air conditioning is standard on every car sold here (only a fool would buy a car in TX without air conditioning)

You measure distance in minutes. (I like where I work because it only takes me ten mins to get there, it takes me thirty mins to go to the movie theater and I still get there before Tommy who lives five mins away from the theater)

You discover that in July, it takes only 2 fingers to drive your car... (I did this last week. It was 102 outside the car and at least 120 inside the car)

I was suprised how Esses I still am - so many are true for me ... yet my adult life has been the other side of England, and I obviously live in my only little paradise.

I wonder what Google would make you ... "You know you suffer from JamesFog when ..."
