Actually, not just where, but in which direction? Because during high tides the water can flow backwards up to the Thames Barrier in Greenwich, which they can close if it is too much.

And if you are from Sweden you can ask back: how many IT people does it take to eat a single can of surströmming? It is at least as relevant to doing the job well and to mix with locals, isn't it?

"Where on the Thames do I measure the flow? And what time of day and day of the lunar month?

"What? I don't know that!" Then the interviewer plunges into the gorge of eternal peril.
