"Operatunity", I take it then, is a British production?
Your original posting was sadly deficient in providing
context.


"in the US," "Pop Idol," and "Tescos" are all unmistak(e)able
 markers of UKism.


I'll give you 1.5 out of 3: 'Tescos' is a dead giveaway, but
'in the US', even combined with an English-language title,
still allows an Australian source, for instance.


Then there's that thing called memory: anyone to whom the
information is interesting must have followed the recent thread
and know what it's about.

Only if you are using 'must' in the sense of 'might'. 

I honestly believe no one else cares whether the gal bagged the goods
or not.
