Cultural Sensitivity

Throughout the trip and wherever we have travelled we have made friends with the locals and forged strong cultural bonds, enriching people's lives as we go. Or something like that.
Sarah has taken bonding with the natives to a higher level. Our waitron in Lake Louise enquired after the FIFA scores on the final day of England's group matches. Sarah noted that we had sneaked through and that "your lot" were also lucky to qualify referring to the last minute winner for the USA. I cringed in my chair, but Johnnie seemed to manage to laugh it off, obviously keen to earn his "customary for Canada 15-20% tip" despite the deep national insult that had just been hurled at him.
What will she do next? Call them moosie or something.
