One of my favorites is car parts.  The hood is the bonnet.  The trunk is
the boot.  I think a fender is also different.

And of course UK women do not wear pants.

And don't ask for a bathroom.  Most public places in the UK don't have
them.

Just because they say "right" doesn't mean they think you are!

A lady in Wales said I looked shattered and wondered if I needed a kip.
Huh?


Yes, there is a difference between the English language and American and
it can make for some great fun when someone from one place visits the
other!
