Welsh, actually, along with German and a hodgepodge of who knows what else?

Thanks Steve, for the find!

I hope you don't mind, but I did a bit of tracking and found the video on YouTube so it is a bit more available to those who can't access FB:

BTW, the couple who made the video also make other sketch comedy videos; here's one about the USA and the UK having that awkward meeting of the ex's after a long time:

The We Are Thomasse duo are bloody brilliant and have their own YT channel filled with some really imaginative pieces well worth the browsing:

You are fishing for an argument aren't you Steed

Well your not going to get one from us American's ... we know we are right, because we drive on the right side of the road (except when we are drunk) all of the time.

vienna · 07-06-17, 05:58 PM

...er...umm...er... you mean we Americans are supposed to drive on the right side of the road?...

...oh, wow!... that explains so much...

Not mind? I'm glad you found it. I looked everywhere and couldn't seem to track it down. The second one is great too.

And why do the British drive on the left? When I was in boot camp they told us that it had to do with knights passing each other. If you're on the left side your sword hand is facing a potential enemy. I was also told that knights would raise their visors so they could tell friend from foe, which is the origin of the military salute. True? I have no idea.

Why do Americans drive on the right? Probably because the British drive on the left.
