Someone (Limey?) needs to point it out to me one day. I've been in plenty of places away from light pollution and have still never seen it.

If you have seen any star ever, you have seen part of the Milky Way. When people refer to the Milky Way in the sky, they are just talking about an area where the stars are thicker and take on a cloudy appearance. But it's all the Milky Way. You need a really dark sky to see anything that's not part of the Milky Way.
