No, I simply meant that it
seems to have more of a hold in the UK, but if I had to bet my life savings (all 2 digits of it) on the idea that I'd
only heard it from UK visitors, versus US visitors, etc., I wouldn't. I don't recall how many, or if they were all from one country or the other. It's just a sense I have from my memory.
