I've decided to share a little about what I've learned here when it comes to language. So, if anyone happens to visit, just practice these phrases and translations....and don't be surprised if I masacre the spelling.
bathroom = loo or toilet (no one says restroom either)
sour cream = creme frache
that's awesome! = brilliant!
right away = straight away
six thirty = half six (can be applied to other times as well)
would you like a pop? = fancy a cup of tea?
chips = crips
fries = chips
crisps = ?
unreliable, strange, kooky = dodgey
TJ Maxx = TK Maxx
Starbucks = Starbucks
Just keep practicing, there will be more to come in Lesson #2.

Very helpful! Now how do I figure out pounds and pence?
Sweet. Reminds me of Japan. The three Britsh people I worked with talked like that. And though I may have mentioned what it is already, guess what an aubergine is.
It's good to know that at least Starbuck's is familiar over there. And here I though travel would necesitate the learning of a new language/dialect/pig-latin!
aubergine and courgettes, too!
don't EVER say fanny... EVER. i probably shouldn't have even typed it.
miss you
