This passer-by’s most British of corrections about ‘London Bridge’ had Americans proper fuming
Well here’s a lovely moment that was captured on video as a dad taught his son all about the history of one of London’s most famous bridges.
Except, not this famous London bridge, it turned out.
And it went viral not because the passer-by’s correction was so quintessentially British, but because the payoff had Americans proper fuming. Over to @GuvnaB.
Shout out the random guy who overheard me teaching my son the wrong thing. This is why I can never home school. pic.twitter.com/f8BNjpQzYW

There was also this post-script.
Then he said don’t worry cos the Americans made the same mistake when they bought the bridge and had to dump it in Arizona. I wanna sit with this don everyday.

And it was absolutely delightful from beginning to end!
Love how you can see him stop in his tracks as soon as he hears you say it. Like his spidey senses have been activated

Unless you’re American, obviously.
Not America catching the random stray.

All in the best possible taste, obviously. Well, except maybe for that last one.
To conclude …
