Thanks, K30 and Bonnie. Kathy, I know
what you mean about nostalgia. Mine is age
related rather than location ;-)
Loving English comedies and
mysteries as I do, I've gotten quite an education
on TV the different meanings for words.

Is written British/English that much different from
English/American? :O)

The problem was I knew the words, but they had different
meanings. The boot and the bonnet of a car are the two
that come to mind. The water closet is another.
My Dad would speak the rhyming cockney to really get me
confused.
