I would doubt that for any of the ones above saying "zebra crossing". Never heard that here in the US before. Seems like a big clue to where they may be from.
Yeah, I only know it from Hitchhiker's Guide, where Oolon Colluphid follows up his famous proof of the non-existence of God with a proof that black is white and gets run down at a zebra crossing. I was a kid when I first read it so I took it literally, haha. It does kinda fit with the other absurd bits of that series.
