So what's been fixed in NL

This is one of the funniest things I have read in ages. Not because it relates to Wal-Mart (which we don't have here, unless you count Asda which has been taken over by the Wal-Mart people and as a result gone all weird and American already, y'all), but because it's so incredibly sarky, dry, and ... well, BRITISH. I swear Pescado is alive & well and living in the middle of the Yorkshire Moors.
I get mistaken for being British surprisingly often, generally by people who aren't. I've never entirely understood this, since I'm otherwise a violent, boorish American.

Perhaps it's the unAmerican subtlety of your sense of humour?
And your self-effacing nature of course.*

Do you wear a gingered wig and velvet jacket and talk about what you are having for tea, and the terrific fanny on that bird? If so, that may be why they get confused.

Maybe it's because you use words like "boorish"......

From what I've been told, British don't like using the word "fanny."
