How to tell if you are an American history/politics nerd, Pt 94:

You spot a car with a "West Virginia Country Band" sticker in the back, and a Confederate flag draped over the back shelf and wonder if this isn't a bit inappropriate. There can't be very many Confederate flags in Northallerton, North Yorkshire, and even fewer in cars with bumper stickers proclaiming the name of the only state ever to secede from the CSA... ((Readers whose native language is English rather than American should note that this refers to the Confederate States of America, and not the Child Support Agency.))
