Ireland, where?

I WAS confronted by a woman at Atlanta airport who wanted to enrol me for a customer loyalty scheme.
HER: Good afternoon sir. Can I interest you in our loyalty scheme to save money on you next flight?
ME: Hi there. I don't think I qualify as I don't live here.
HER: Well, where are you from?
ME: I'm from London but I live in Ireland.
HER: Ireland? Hmm. Is that Ireland in Virginia?
ME: No. It's Ireland as in, er, (trying to help) the country next to England where London is.
HER: (Looking puzzled as if I had just referred to a newly discovered planet): Well OK. You have a nice day.
ME: You too!
