Hello little sis. I think they probably also call "pants" "trousers", but they call "underwear" "pants". That was how they said it when I was in London. Also, "potato chips" are "crisps" and "french fries" are "chips".
The one I remember from being there is instead of getting your food "to go", they call it "take away"
Fun fun fun! "I'm going to give you a tinkle in a little while" just sounds awesome!
I hope you can get your porridge every morning. Just let us know when you run out of craisins and we'll ship you some more! LOL
You make me laugh!!!
I'm not sure I want to be tinkled by anyone
