UK, US, & OZ...three great nations divided by a common language

I'm sure this topic has come up before, but obviously it's been long enough that this quote will be new to some pixies who've joined since then (or are just getting old & forgetful):

Actor/singer David Essex (here he's best/only remembered for the 70's hit "Rock On") found himself in New York, on an elevator, about to light up a cigarette, when he asked the other passenger, "Mind if I light up a fag on the lift?"

He got only a very strange look as an answer...
