This is how German's identify each other at They Might Be Giants concerts. It's bewildering to watch them circle up in formation like that
I once worked with an engineer from Glasgow and I had him at our logistics depot in London so I could do some training with him.
Somehow, no idea, but he just wandered off and found the one other person from Glasgow in the whole building. Turns out they were even from the same area.
Sniffed him out. Came back to me with a smile on his face and said it was great being able to speak to someone without having to put on an accent just so they could understand him.
Bonus story.
Him and I were walking to the store to get some lunch and he was telling me about all the London stereotypes he heard of and he mentioned rats. Rats everywhere.
I told him I've never seen one, but I have seen a few mice here and there running around on the tracks in the central London tube stations and just a few seconds later, this bloody fat rat ran across the path in front of us and into a bush.
THERE THERE, SEE! THERE! he yells.
Dammit... of all the times I see a rat in London it had to be with him.
Hahaha! Well there is that old myth about one never quite being less than 6 feet away from a rat in London. Mostly a myth, and even more so these days as Fox's are abundant
