"Now It's My Turn" - Betty Carter, 1988

Last week, John and I had a good laugh about a question asked on "The Weakest Link".

The question was something like this: Despite the name, in which US state would you find the Sierra Nevada Mountains?

The contestant answered: Canada

Today, I had an appointment with a new contact lens specialist at an Oxford optician's office. Like me, she didn't have a British accent.

I was so sure of where she was from that I asked her, "So, what part of Australia are you from?"

Her answer?

"New Zealand"
