I recall being taken out by some Canadian Cousins to an 'up-market' pizza restaurant in Hamilton Ontario in the late '70s, as I recall the pizza's were very average, but what most remember is the obsequious staff, I'd just been in NYC and Boston.
I think my cousins imagined pizza wouldn't have been known in the UK or Australia. That was probably true of the UK back then, but not Australia. Italian villages migrated here en-masse before and especially after WW2.
I am convinced to this day that 'Have a nice day' started in Canada. Of course, we now have it here too, but not as bad as the UK where it can be worse than LA or Vancouver, ab-reaction to Basil Fawlty?
Had to call the bank the other day, the phone operator was pleasant and very helpful. But every time I answered a question she'd say, "Thank you for that." I asked to stop saying it, she didn't though, excessive
brainwashing training I guess.
