When we went to the burger joint today, I forgot to order my soda as a "large pop" to see if I got any strange looks. lol
James is almost here...

So uh, what is the story behind that anyway?
If you're asking me...
I have a criminal record, the USA and UK started sharing information after 9/11. My record runs out in a year but not for police information. I'd probably get a bit gun pointed at me at the airport and deported if I tried to come into your country!:willy_nilly:
ah ok, so for past criminal records.
LOL!!! When I was up north I ordered a coke and the waitress said "is Pepsi okay?" I said "yeah, actually, that's what I prefer." Then the girl I was visiting goes "oh...is that that thing where everything is a 'coke' in the south???" LOL!!!
Awwww...that sucks.
I didn't even know that policy was in place. Interesting.You used to just be able to lie and say "no criminal record" but our governments share information now. I could have got away with it in Australia but I'm too honest and declared it. I only go away with getting married there because I threatened them with my MP and the papers which could have seriously fucked up their tourism, no kidding. I've been married to an Aussie for over 3 years now so the're fucked, I can enter their country as and when I feel like it even though last time they told me to never come back.

I thought that is where they put criminals.
btw I don't have my weapon with me. I didn't get my license to carry in time so it's at home.
Customs officials are trained to keep the same unimpressed face, trust me!:willy_nilly:
I can be talkative, I'm just normally not.
umm why is that weird??? :dunno
because in the South, all "pops" are called cokes.
So in the Southern states, you'd say, "I'll have a coke." and the waitress will say, "OK, what kind?" and you'd say, "Dr. Pepper." and it would be perfectly normal.
you say "pop" or "soda" and Southerners will say, "You ain't from round here, are ye?"
This is the way of things...
oh, and if you order tea, you NEVER have to ask for it to be sweetened. Tea = sweet tea south of the Mason Dixon
If you order tea and want it unsweetened, you'll need to specify that. Expect a strange look, too.
