    the funniest one you WILL get in england is;
    "were you from?"
    "melbourne....australia"
    " oh really, i have a cousin... lives in perth.... john smith.... you know him?"

    you will be amazed at how many times you get asked about someones extended family. even if they live on the opposite part of the country and have a common as sh1t name.
