Ah yes, Richmond. Everyone knows where Richmond is.

Yes, I realised my mistake pretty early on. Next time I see him, I’ll specify it’s the UK.

Nahhh, I appreciate for once a Reddit post from outside the US that doesn't feel the need to heavily qualify itself about where it is coming from or why Reddit should care.

I mean it’s a town with a generic name that’s technically inside of one of the most famous cities in the world. It has a population around 20k. You could say London, or really specifying makes sense.

If I said I saw Boris Johnson in University Park, that would mean nothing.
