To provide context for the "In the US 100 years is a long time, in Europe 100 miles is a long way" thing, one of our local supermarkets was built as a Carrefour in the 70's
The supermarket was sold to Asda in the 80's
People still refer to that supermarket as Carrefour despite it now being three decades since it became an Asda
@troubleMoney You forgot the part about "in China they laugh about both" or something along those lines...
