Reminds me of a trip to Great Britain, Scotland in particular. I had 
expected them to speak some unintelligible accent, but no person I spoke 
to did.

Then I drove down to the English Midlands, and at some point had to ask 
for directions late at night. I stopped and asked some bloke that 
happened to be there. He told me, and I nodded and thanked him politely.

Then I drove further down the road to ask someone else... >_<
