There must be a rather large British population here in the Woodland Hills area of CA...to my delight I've discovered The Cambridge Cupboard and gift shop serving Breakfast, Lunch and Afternoon Tea--so I've been able to sample some of the British cuisine! In San Francisco I was thrilled to discover Branston Pickle in the supermarket! Deeeeelicious! I have to bring it home to my Mom on the East Coast cause she can't find it!

Let's see: US Britain garters suspenders suspenders braces now, I wonder what term our friends in the UK call the braces used to correct crooked teeth???? :-)

I love the differences in pronunciation! Berkeley, CA (pronounced burr-klee) yet Berkeley in the UK is "barklee"...same difference with Derby...

Gas/gasoline = petrol

an infant's crib in the US is a cot across the pond...

Someone mentioned outdoor markets...I know of the "farmer's markets"--ie the local "farmers" come to town on scheduled days and set up their stands in a parking lot or other place that people can get to easily and sell their wares...

I think I had better stop..
