Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: In the pilot episode we see the Son and Daughter listening to the start of the story on how Ted met their mother. In the final episode of the show it's revealed that the whole story has taken place in one sitting. However, the clothes the kids are wearing and the items around them are different in the pilot episode to every other episode. The sofa is a different design, the cushions appear etc. (00:00:45)

Suggested correction: Depending on the location settings on his laptop, they could be giving a false reading. My laptop shows I'm in Cardiff Wales while in fact I'm nowhere near.

The show was actually filmed on a film set in Los Angeles which is probably why the laptop says Los Angeles as the current location. This most probably slipped past the editing crew.

Trivia: When Ted and Robin are at the restaurant, they are accidentally sent a champagne glass with an engagement ring in. A man then claims the ring and proposes to his girlfriend.
