Austin Powers shagged on that one
In the second film, as he is driving his Shaguar through the "English" countryside,
Austin noted how the Sceptered Isle looks exactly like Southern California.
No wonder I was so familiar with the place as a kid even though I had yet to
visit the state.
No babes walking around with bikinis? Forget it, then!
I visited LA several times in the last decade. A serious demarcation between
the haves and have nots was quite obvious.
