Not us Brits- we hang on to the OLD ways- Europe may think we toe the line but they should try shopping for a kilo of sprouts at the market on a Saturday morning

Yeah, but he's also misquoting or misattributing quotes to long-dead atheists. If he didn't completely invent them of his own accord, he, no doubt, culled them from dubious sources.

Who the hell can vouch for what Voltaire or Sir Walter Scott may or may not have said on their deathbeds?

is a country mile in the USA different from a country mile over here

?

The expression (idiom) here seems longer than a city mile (10 "blocks").

With sprouts the difference is clear since a kilo of sprouts is massive compared to a weighty pound of sprouts.

A "city block", based on the plan of New York (the) City, is 1/10 mile on a side.

In Time's Square, for over twenty years, a large billboard with a cigarette ad actually blew huge smoke rings out over the street. That has been said, was the origin of the slogan "I'd walk a mile for a Camel".
