Labor, harbor, neighbor all minus the 'u' we use in England.

Parking lot = car park

Gas = petrol

how about 'skin 'n blister' for 'sister'? i had some brit friends from years ago....and this is how he referred to his sister.

Now, naturally, with my two girls, they are each referred to as 'skin 'n blister'...as in "where the heck is your skin 'n blister? it's her turn to empty the dishwasher!"

(mind you....I never got the actually *spelling* of this unique moniker....so I might be in error on that!)
