americans think ABSOLUTELY NOTHIN of driving 7 hours. they’ll drive 7 hours just for dinner. they’ll drive 7 hours just for chips and dip
My friend in the UK told me that they only see their father like 2-3 times a year because they live so far away. When I asked how far do they live, they said that it’s a 45 minute drive……. my commute to work, five days a week is an hour.
Okay, so I have a friend from schul who is an American married to a Brit, and when she and her husband moved to Oxford, her parents came out from the US to help them get settled in their new place.
So one day her mother goes to a shop to buy them a housewarming gift, and she starts chatting to the woman ringing her up at the till about how her daughter just moved to the UK and that she’s going to miss her so much, and the woman goes “Oh, I know exactly how you feel. When my daughter got married and moved away, I cried for days and days.” So my friend’s mother says: “Oh dear, where did she move to?” to which the woman replies: “London.”
And my friend’s mum is just like “That…that’s a 50 minute train ride from here???????”
