When in Phuket, this one fake watch seller kept on saying 'lovely jubbly diamond geezer' to me in an awful accent. Some pissed Brit must have told him that's what we say.

Aye. Funny isn't it, how some phrases travel the world. Even funnier hearing the stigmas attached to Brits in different places around the world.

I like it how (supposedly because we're a small island by comparison) everyone thinks we're from London and we all know the queen, or a random person they'd met a year ago that was from England
Spent the day in Boston/ Cambridge.. forgot how amazing the city is
