CNN tells viewers London is in Norfolk

Quote:

No doubt there are a few red faces at American news channel CNN today after one geographically challenged employee failed to locate London, one of the world’s biggest capital cities, on their map.

One witty Twitter user said he was waiting to see the coach loads of American tourists trying to find Buckingham Palace in the rural backwaters of Norfolk.

To be honest most Norfolk people wouldn't be able to find London on a map, they probably couldn't spell map either and would have difficulty pointing at anything specific on it due to webbed fingers:03:

I spent a couple of years working in Norfolk, hated it! The roads were tiny, with a tractor or a lorry around every corner, or worse - a tourist! I never met any girls there with webbed body parts, but I do know two Cornish girls who have webbed feet. :o

I think the North Sea should reclaim Norfolk.

Can't blame them; they went to London and mistook it for Islamabad.

You stupid Yurrupean...Yuropeon...Europe people! America is today what Britain was two hundred years ago! You used to say that the problem with foreign countries is that there are so many foreigners there. Well, it's even more true today.

Your capital is where we tell you it is! You'll take it and you'll like it. Learn the truth and toe the line!

One more thing...why does everybody hate us so much? We just want to help. :D
