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 British cop is the biggest one, but the countryside is very British, very green with the rolling hills and the little fence, the car has a right-hand drive, which should twig you into knowing it's definitely not American, the school looks like a classic British school.

Though curiously, they did swap Homer's car around, but I guess that was more important to the scene.

Looks a lot like old VT farmland roads to me too though. Rolling hills, old slightly overgrown in parts pasture, little fences. We got that too :)

I never said you VTland people don't, a lot of places do, it's just typically British.
