I don't know why but I can immediately tell this is the UK
As an American who has never been to the UK, somehow I agree
As a european who has been to the uk, i agree
As an American who lived in the UK for a few years. I agree.
As me, hi!
You can see the yellow line at the edge of the carriageway which is pretty distinctive for the UK plus the dimpled tiles on the pavement are pretty much unique to Britain.
Also having carriageways and calling the paths that people walk on "pavement" are pretty much unique to Britain.
First glance I thought it was Boston, so yea UK likely.
Which is why the "y'all" usage here is triggering me.
I’m from Manchester and use y’all all the time. Let’s normalise southern drawl words.
I also use yall all the time

Australian y'all user checking in. It's not my fault there's no plural you in English, and the local (uncommon) variant "yous" has uneducated associations. Which, of course is unfair, but such is language and society.
Anyway, thanks y'all, I'm going to keep using it.
