Just listened to olScratch's pipes and didn't blink an eye when "UNDERGROUND CARPARK" was mentioned.

i just popped the "BONNET" to check my oil while I was filling up with "PETROL".

I just put my groceries in "THE BOOT" and passed a "LORRIE" on they way home.

I'm thinking about DRIVING ON THE LEFT (RIGHT?) side of road.

Am I going Anglophile??

If you are, there is still hope for America

Pass a LORRY get caught by THE OLD BILL on one of the 55,000 closed circuit television cameras around the country. Then get a massive fine from THE BEAK and charged with anti-social behavior. Good luck with the Anglophile thing. Miss Marple is long dead and the NANNY STATE is alive and flourishing.

"INSERTS TONGUE FIRMLY IN CHEEK"

Oh crap, just what we bleedin need, 'nother yank who thinks he's one of us cos he once saw a programme on telly about home....Pass me a crumpet & stick the kettle on for a cuppa char...

"REMOVES TONGUE FROM CHEEK"

Whats funny is I now put gas in the car, groceries in the trunk & use the windshield wipers & check the tire pressure.....Born & Bred in London, England.

Whereas...my wife, born & bred in Nor Cal will go to the supermarket to get the shopping, put it in the boot & fill up at the petrol station, and check the tyres....

Although...I still laugh when someone calls a Bum Bag a FANNY PACK

I wouldn't worry about it until you start finding English women or food appealing. Then, God help you.

I lived near Columbia, South Carolina for a few years, where the State Dance is the "Shag", and the local pubs offer "Shagging Lessons".

Great!

Kirkus51 you might drive on the Right side of the road over there, however I think it is only fair to point out that we drive on the Correct side of the road.
