    Crisps are chips and chips are fries.

    Sheppard's pie is made from minced lamb with a mashed potato topping.
    Cottage pie is the same but made with minced beef.
    Both can be topped with cheese if you want.

    About the loo :)

    Sheppard's pie is great, it's not really a pie, just meaty loveliness with onions in a dish with mashed potato on the top.

    There's also a Ploughman's lunch which is cheese and pickle sandwich, with salad. Which is just a commercialisation of a farouite dish :)

    The whole world has climate but only England has weather ;)
    Even after you have watched the forecast you can never be 100% sure exactly what it will do.

    It rains a lot on the West side - they're on the receiving end of the Atlantic Drift.

    Smart means dressed well - in a businesslike manner - Also "dapper" means the same thing... not casually dressed.

    Makes sense. I know your country must be beautiful with the age of all the buildings. Must be breathtaking. And must be quite green as well.

    Oh yeah, got another one. A "lawn" over here... is your "garden" over there.. right?

    Lawn - is normally a patch of grass occupying the centre of the garden often surrounded by flowers and shrubbery

    We say lawn... Garden is the whole thing with flowerbeds etc... lawn is the grass
    Curly wins :(

    Some places are better than others for the old buildings and lovely greenery :)
    But yes some places are utterly breathtaking.

    Cap,

    I can only imagine how breathtaking... any places in particular?

    Think the Ac/Dc is the same here as well.

    Bristol is a lovely city, Lincoln too from the top of the hill at night is wonderful... Colchester has so much history (Oldest town in britain)... So many places have a lot of history around them.. these are just the ones I know. London of course has so much to explore too!
