Chris, I always laugh....we do need a dictionary of &quot;across the pond&quot; English... on my Sun Viking cruise, which was made of mainly of British and Argentinian passengers ( quite a combination ), I got quite an<br />education.  I learned about &quot;spending a penny&quot; - kept thinking, &quot;What in the UK costs a penny?&quot;  Once<br />I got there to visit my new found friends, I delighted in eating &quot;spotted dick&quot; - now bring home the<br />canned Heinz variety and always buy &quot;Fairy Liquid&quot; dish detergent for my San Francisco friends.  The ones who live in the Castro like displaying it in their kitchens&#33;
