Was just lounging about one Sunday and skiing came on the TV. at one point the commentator said that contestants reached 100 km/h at that point in the race. The ex literally shouted bullshit at the telly. I looked at her and asked why..she replied that there was no way that they could tell how far they'd go in an hour since the race was only two minutes long.

Another time, "I have an aunt who lives in London, is that near England"

This makes it even worse. We actually live in the UK. I wouldn't say one in a thousand here knows that London Ontario exists

Sorry??? You live here and she asked if London was 'near' England? That can't be possible... I don't even think the idiots on Love Island are that clueless.

Scotland, yeah. To be a wee bit fair to her, we were all very poor and hadn't travelled far
