Americans command of Geography in serious doubt???

It would seem that quite a number of Americans would bomb the city of Agrabah.

Don't kid yourself we in the uk are any better UJ.
Many people don't even know where Kent is and that is in their own country.

A fellow I befriended whilst living in South Africa sent me a post card quite a few years ago. It took 3 months for me to get it! Correct name, correct address, wrong country ....... he posted it to Switzerland! I have to say that I am highly impressed by the international postal services!

Personally, I'd seriously question their mental health if they are unable to determine the difference between reality and fiction.

How very embarrassing.

I hope Swim won't ask me to document it but I recall reading a few years ago of a street-survey in New York.

It (allegedly) found that about 25% of New Yorkers could not point to the location of the USA on an unmarked globe of the world.
