When I first met them, they were surprised that England is so different to the typical stereotype that they have, one of them being accents. They originally thought everyone here in Mighty Blighty spoke with either a Cockney accent or with a RP accent.
Since being here over the past three months, they have grown to love England and Newcastle in particular, so much so that they now call the place "home". It's just such a shame they're going back to America next Monday
Had an interesting experience with a group of an American tourists when I was about 10 when I went to Chorister School...
Got on a bus at Durham Cathedral to North Road, packed with Yank tourists, an old woman took an instant liking to me, liking my uniform, went so far to say 'you look smart in your little pants' as I had to wear shorts until I was 11...As they were from North Carolina they made a comment like 'Your Durrrrr-haaaaammmm is much better than ours' all I said was 'it isnt just my Durham, but thanks anyway'
