It was set in the U.K., but there were porcupines, skunks, and American brand names visible.
Eeek! Sounds as if they weren't even trying.
I hate it when they don't care.
When I think of the efforts I go to, to make my fanfic sound authentically British - or authentically American, when it's set in the US - well, if I can do it, so can they. I don't always succeed, but putting the effort in at least ensures that the most egregious mistakes (like skunks) don't appear.
