Confusion
I spotted this as an air-freshener hanging from a car's rear-view mirror in Buckinghamshire, UK.
It made me look twice.
It has some connection to a sporting event, I think.

Re: Confusion
Looks right to me. That's Cumbria at the upper left, isn't it? Or maybe it's upside-down, and that's Cornwall.

I think it is representative of an Australopithecus skull denoting England's advanced level of goal keeping.

Re: Confusion
A few hours before the England/U.S.A. game, an English guy down in the local Pub was moaning at me for not wearing a tee shirt/scarf/flag in support of England. "Jeez Dave", he sez.."you're not very patriotic, are ye? "...I looked him straight in the eye and said "I'm not very English either".....He shook his head and walked away....strange but true...

Re: Confusion
If you had some innate way of indicating that kind of thing - a different skin colour, for instance - these silly mistakes could be avoided.

I always thought that my accent would be enough but obviously not....weird.

I can't believe that on Friday night we played a really $4!t team we were expected to thrash and only came away with a goalless draw.

Re: Confusion
Maybe it was one of those things like the T-shirts they make for championship games. They actually make two sets of T-shirts with each team winning. The T-shirts of the losing team get sent to some third world nation as a donation. Maybe that's what happened here. Buckinghamshire, UK can finally claim third world status.

And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')
