Mind you, this is not something I read about. I saw it. I was

You would be amazed ( or not) at the amount of my fellow Brits who when
asked in a quiz " what is the third planet from the sun called ?, Over
half chose Mars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So they walk among us brits as

And that is why I still do a bit of sidewalk astronomy here in Canada!
