“Hey....they call cookies biscuits.”

Chips are crisps
Fries are chips
Dessert is called a sweet
An elevator is a lift
The windshield is the windscreen
The hood is the bonnet
If a multi-story building has a basement the basement is the first floor, the street level is the 2nd floor

And my personal pet peeve
Aluminum is aluminium...even though Sir Humphry Davy named it aluminum when he discovered it in 1808

Forget it Jake, it’s England...or the soon to be Caliphate of Britain.

Anyway, more cultural enrichers loosed upon Old Blighty or what’s left of it.
