I do agree that it should be "day-month-year" smallest unit to highest in terms of the date. Not sure why we're focusing on months first over here. 😂

If someone asked you today's date would you say "October 14" or "the 14th of October"?

In the UK, whipped/clotted cream in an aerosol can is called 'Squirty Cream'.

I think gay youth have a different impression for squirty cream.

 I would respond "It's October 14th."

In the UK, there are several electrical power plants which were built to handle the extra load when everyone turns on their tea kettles. Engineers at the power plants study TV guides to ascertain when they should activate the generators, so the power grid doesn't descend into cascade failure.

In the USA, the only phenomenon that might come close is the use of HVAC (indoor climate-control) systems during the summer and winter, but our power grid already has those factors accounted for.

In some parts of the US, no alcohol can be served on Sunday, period. 

Well, the country was founded by puritan immigrants, those persons having or displaying censorious moral beliefs, especially about self-indulgence and sex. They have apparently left a lasting legacy.

And not in the good way. I’ve left a much more open and fun legacy.

Perhaps you take after Thomas Paine, but he left America and became a French citizen (the country where I live) and helped to draft the French constitution after our revolution.

Which means we can buy alcohol on Sundays... that's if you find a shop open 😄
