OK, you Brits, answer me this. Some of your countrymen named a lot of our states (impressive!) and some didn't know hardly any of our states (rather like our own high school students). But tell me-- why do almost all Englishmen know Texas?? Why Texas, for Pete's sake??!!

I know, right?

Not far off  :huh: . It's just greedy and too big, I mean for Europe that's about 30 odd countries!!

Hats and Boots!!  Serious, and maybe dallas depending on your age but we secretly love that you can just wear a hat and boots for day to day life and no one bats an eyelid! 

 

Damn you school geography that taught soil erosion and the like...but if you ever need info on marram grass to hold up a sand dune I'm big in the game... not countries or states  :unsure:

Because Texas is special, since I was born there actually I think the Brits know Texas from the tv show Dallas.

[Tink]

I can name them all after playing the number/license plate game but I could not tell you where they all are :)

I see. I'm beginning to understand. We have several large states (Alaska, California, Texas and Montana for example). We have several states (or at least regions) with unique characters (New England, Plains states, Dixie, etc). We have some states with a lot of local color (Las Vegas, New Orleans, Blue Ridge Mountains, Pacific redwoods, etc.). We've even had several states or localities featured in popular television and films (Miami Vice, Hawaii Five-0, Dallas, Blue Bloods, Chicago Hope, etc.).

 

But as far as I know, only Texas has it all-- size, character, color and fame PLUS a sticky-outy piece on the north side and a sticky-outy piece on the south side that makes it easy to identify on a map! :D . Thanks for explaining that to me, mates!

Hats and Boots Chrys, and Dallas.

 

I knew where disneyworld was :)  And I saw savannah on the airplane map and was all, oh DD is there but yeah, we're a bit pants.  We get irate at being called British so I get your annoyance in a way!! I shall get to grips with some states in "the middle bit" just for you :)

Everything is bigger in Texas...
