I'll have to watch Groudhog Day again -- it's been many years.
Years ago, I heard a woman BBC reporter trying to explain Groundhog Day to her listeners. It went something like, "A groundhog is a large rodent that looks rather like a fat squir-rel (think cute English accent), and the Americans use them to predict the weather."
Her UK listeners must have been horrified at the idea that such a backward people had the largest military in the world!
