Vancouverites generally don't 'get' British humour anyway - they just tell you that you've got a 'nice accent'....

Look how they drive, sums them up.

I had similar experience at my first Vancouver newspaper pub outing. Boss asked me what'll you have. Lager please. He went round the table and they all had coffee. Not like the lunch sessions we used to have on Fleet St.

Managed to get 2 more in as well.

Not insulting. Just explaining. Honestly, can you not see why anyone would avoid spending more time with you than absolutely necessary?
