FoxTrot Classics by Bill Amend for April 13, 2013

And they use torches when they need to see in the dark.

It took me a minute to remember what a “Pentium” was…

even though, many of us speak english, it doesn’t mean the same thing. and, it could be worse, it could be welsh or icelandic.

They also keep their spare tyre in the boot

Chip butties are classic, but we also call sandwiches ‘sarnies’ too. (Buttie is an alternative spelling, we spelled it ‘butty’.) And I still spoil myself occasionally with bacon butties or even a crisp butty!!

I still don’t get what chips and crisps have to do with overclocking Pentiums and the World Almanac.

At Heathrow airport I saw the sign for baggage and explained to the attendant that in the US its called luggage and baggage is your ex-wife

Also in England, they call sweaters jumpers, and shoes trainers.

Also in England, the “handicapped restroom” is the “disabled toilet”.

The bloody lorry is coming down my way.

The damn truck’s going to run me over.

Also in Scotland you can “muck your byre” which I do when I “clean my barn”…

This one should be kicked to the kerb.

Don’t forget that the first floor is really the second.

And if a lorry driver is caught talking on his mobile over there, he can be busted the same as a truck driver talking on his cellphone here.
