    I once met a woman that was in her late 20s. Worked in tech for 3 years in Prague, and had a pretty TV style British accent.

    She was from the Midwest. Spent 3 years in Prague and visited the UK like 3 times, then moved back to Chicago. Insisted she “worked with a lot of Brits and it just stuck.”

    Yeah, I’ve worked with a lot of tall people. Didn’t make me grow taller.

      You should have worked with small people. That works better.

        Can confirm.

        Am short and have dragged many coworkers down from their lofty peaks to my dreaded land of needing step ladders.

        Also occasionally delving too greedily and too deep.
