Geography 101

There are Americans whose grasp on world geography is a little shaky; possibly because so many never leave the country. I had a good example of that on Saturday when I saw a car dealership in Walnut Creek. The place was called “Cole European”, but not one of the marques on offer was from Europe. They sell Aston Martin, Jaguar, and Land Rover, all of which are built in the UK. I am sure the implication that the UK was part of Europe would be enough to cause serious distress to readers of The Daily Mail.
