I was at a lunch to accept a cheque for the charity I worked for. The place was full of yummy mummies and I was chatting to several of them before we all sat down. One of them asked me If I had children. On replying that no I didn’t she looked amazed and shrieked ‘what, none at all?’ 🙄

That reminds me of a young woman who was asking other freshers at university (in North Wales!) which borough they were from.

She genuinely assumed that, because she was from London, everybody else there must be as well - and was very confused when people just gave her a town name or county in response to what they assumed she must be asking.

I bet her head nearly exploded when she heard one of the locals speaking a bizarre, unearthly, magical language that you don't tend to hear spoken in London for the first time Grin

That reminds me that when I asked a woman where she was from she said "The south east". I asked "Of England?" and she said "No, London!" as if I was stupid Confused
