-Everything is backwards. Not just the sides of the road that they drive on or which side the driver and passenger sides are, but the side that door handles are on, the way they turn, the way you turn keys to lock and unlock doors, the way you flip light switches to turn them on (and off), seriously pick just about anything you have muscle memory for, it’s backwards. I am constantly fumbling around because stuff is never where I expect it to be.
-The stairs inside houses are narrower than the ones in the US, the stairs in the house I live are “a really big set” and I have fallen down them twice because of how short the actual steps are.
-“Lays” potato chips are called “Walkers.”
-The colors of skim and whole milk are switched.
-They really do use “jolly good,” “cheers,” and “knackered” in normal conversation.
-Not conversationally, but on the signs, speed bumps are called “humps.”
-Virtually none of the cops carry guns.
-In an American restaurant you ask for the check and pay with a bill ($20, $10, $5, etc), in England you ask for a bill and pay with a cheque. I told you everything was backwards!
-They keep washing machines in their kitchens (because their houses are so small), and only about 50% have dryers, the rest hang up their clothes on clotheslines.
-They only have 5 tv channels and they are identified by their number (“Today on 4, sharks attack!)
-Their money is all different, each bill is a different size, and the coins are all different sizes and shapes (which is a big deal considering that they have coins for 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 cents, and one pound and two pound coins.
-A lot of the houses have gardens that are lit at night.
