You know your not really in Texas when.........the state flower will not grow where we live, 80% of the folks are Spanish..........Longhorns are known only as the Texas U team and, if you drive south for 3 minutes yer in Mexico.......
By the way, The Aggies are a team from New Mexico State in Cruces...........
You know you're in Scotland when:
- there are fields full of cattle (the Highland ones with the silly fringes) down the street.
- football (soccer) is king.
- the locals draw out single-syllable words as to be unintelligble.
- the politicians are backed by noone.
- half the population only speaks once they've had their daily dose of Irn-Bru (yeuch).
- you can travel for 12 hours in a single direction and thank heavens you're back somewhere civilised (England).

You know you are in Runcorn when you step outside and everyone has tatoos (even the women), the men wear baseball caps and tracksuits but never step foot inside a gym, you take a deep lungfull of air and then cough for about an hour afterwards due to the emissions from ICI and Fiddlers Ferry.
