American authors who set scenes in the UK and don't understand that it isn't the same as America;
- Multiple examples I've read of characters walking a number of "blocks" in British towns - even British characters giving directions based on the number of blocks (British towns just aren't structured that way and nobody here would use the term "block")
- One memorable description of a driver turning right to take the off-ramp on a motorway (we drive on the left!)
I'm sure that there are equally stupid mistakes that UK writers make about the US as well;I just wouldn't necessarily notice those!
