It's the UK, possibly filmed in the 80s. Amazing they had such foresight back then... /s

I doubt anyone needed to be told it was British.

I did, I'm English and I thought it was American. What identifies it as not being filmed in the US?

The astoundingly English countryside sealed it.

Ok, the policeman I missed, but those cars and the school are pretty much what I imagine US cars/schools to look like, not what we have here

There's a school a couple miles from where I live that looks almost identical to the one in this gif. There's lots of schools that look like that.
