On Oxford Street in London, a tourist asked me for directions to Edgware.
At first puzzled by his interest in visiting far-off social housing and knife crime, I quickly realized by his accent what he actually meant and directed him to nearby Edgware Road.

Years ago I had someone ask me where the exit to the building is. The building occupies a complete city block in NYC and there are many exits. Using the wrong exit could add 15 minutes to your walk.
I asked him where he is was going. He got flustered, said “speak American”, and walked off.
