[QUOTE 2056069, member: 1314"]Why (see bold)? And why a return ticket? I'm intrigued. What was your white mate doing in Richmond?[/quote]
Im my experience, travelling whilst not being in control of ymind and actions isn't advisable: the same goes for being pissed. Too easy to lose your luggage/money/passport etc. and that's before someone helps themselves to your stuff if you appear to be an easy target.
Return ticket was due to the fact that I flew from London to Washington DC and back from Philadelphia and needed to meet a girl in DC after I'd been to Richmond.
My white mate (an American) lived there.

In certain parts of Europe, my Scottish accent has been mistaken for German. In the US, I've been mistaken for a Texan and an Irishman!
The reception I get certainly changes when I explain I'm Scottish. Much friendlier & more welcoming.

[QUOTE 2055254, member: 9609"]The tory party thinks England ends at Hadrian's wall and the SNP thinks Scotland begins at Edinburgh - I'm quite happy to live on the border and wave neither flag.[/quote]If it makes you feel any better, my part of the world gets similar treatment. Many people (and I suspect this includes officialdom) seem to think that Wales starts at the end of the M54 but if I go into Wales I've received the cold shoulder coz I'm English.
The look of shock on the faces of a couple of my customers when I explained to them that they weren't in Wales still amuses me.

A quick poll among the staff at Ch. Syrphe shows that most of them think Scotland is to England as Brittany is to Aquitaine, if English isn't your native language a Scotch accent doesn't sound different to an English accent, (but a North American sounds like a duck quacking).

Donkeys years ago on holiday in the former Yugoslavia my mates and I had a run in with a local who accused us of being "Eenglish" He didn't understand the word Scotland, but calmed down when we said "Kenny Dalgleish!"
