I love my friends in England and the UK.
Recently, my friend Suzie wrote on her FB wall, "aching all over and with a dicky tummy. (a very unwelcome) welcome back to the winter vomiting virus!"

If I'm coming to knock you up in the morning, should I bring a rubber?
Whatever side of the planet you're on, what are some of your favorite language differences? :)

some of my most enjoyable moments were listening to dx stations where the op's second language was English learned from someone with a cockney accent. So we're talking a very heavy original tongue accent (say French) AND the nominally spoken cockney English. It can be a riot.

Having a suck off a fag means something entirely different in the U.K. that it would in the U.S.

Excuse me, I must hoover the flat.

Took me while to put that one together until I read others talking about adding tomatoes.

Ever see an Englishman pour warm custard on his spotted dick ?

That's one, not that it's much of an improvement...

Hello.

What is the policy on homosexuals in the UK, can not be much worse than what is here.

When did we get a policy regarding homosexuals in the US, and what is it?

Maybe a little better. Gays are not banned from the military in the UK, for one thing.
