The weather here in Virginia is absolute trash, its just English weather with an American twist.
Virginia overall is just English lite, lots of hills, sheep, stonewalls, and rednecks (chavs)

Chavs are not rednecks and it's Wales that has a lot of sheep.

Well the way I have chavs described to me they seem to be extraordinarily similar.

Brilliant! Well played Kronk.

I only have the one weather app. I love Marmite but the only kind of Cricket worth watching is the IPL. I too know what LBW means, but surely the correct test for Britishness is knowing the Offside rule?

Offside - that's when the defensive player moves across the line of scrimmage before the ball is snapped, right?

That depends, did he touch someone, or cause an offensive player to move? Seriously, do we need 3 different rules for essentially the same thing?

It's clearly because he went in to the attacking zone with the puck while another forward was in it
