    America barely had existed by then.

    The US didn't exist at all.

    The continent had existed for quite some time, though ;P

    Well, there were some settlers at least.

    Well, yeah, there were a few British colonies, but there wasn't a country called the United States.

    And pavements have been around since at least the Roman Empire...

    So?

    It still weirds me out when people talk about 4-digit history. I just get this blank look over my face then think..... "They mean Late Quaternary, right? Like REALLY Late Quaternary, right?"

    I was just surprised. Seemed more modern than that to me.

    Ok so american 'cider' is just unpasteurised apple juice, which you see being sold from farms and farm shops under the title 'unpasteurised apple juice'.

    Do you have a different for perry as well?

    Perry is cider made from pears.

    Also on the subject of alcohol, your 'beer' (budweiser coor etc) is known as 'weak as piss' over here. :p

    Our beer fucking sucks too. Any beer lover goes for the imported stuff over here.

    Speaking of beer, the county my second home's in recently legalized the sale of alcohol, with the caveat that minors are not allowed to touch a shopping cart containing it.

    I hate Alabama.

    Wait wait wait.

    They just recently legalized alcohol sales?

    Didn't Prohibition end in the 1920s?

    Maybe a couple years back. Can't remember exactly when, but yeah, fairly recent.

    I think it's still illegal there on Sundays.

    You have crazy drink laws (and age limits) over there, which seems like a hold over of prohibition attitudes.

    Also I'm literally not joking about the 'weak as piss' part, really it is the image of American beers over here.
    (Although I assume your microbreweries are a better standard.)

    ^I get the impression that's also the image of American beers in America.

    Really :o?
    I'd have thought with how popular the home market is they'd have a better image.

    They're only popular with the average mainstream idiot who doesn't know any better.

    I don't know; I'm 19. This is all secondhand information I've picked up from overhearing stuff.
