Unimpressed

Politics was high on everyone's list of topics today, I don't want to blog about it.
I will just answer this intriguing language analysis thing that Ash posted.
:)

Age: 19

Where you grew up (Ages 0-18): Durham, UK

1. A body of water, smaller than a river, contained within relatively narrow banks: Stream.

2. What the thing you push around the grocery store is called: Trolly.

3. A metal container to carry a meal in: Lunchbox.

4. The thing that you cook bacon and eggs in: Pan

5. The piece of furniture that seats three people: Sofa or settee.

6. The device on the outside of the house that carries rain off the roof: Gutter.

7. The covered area outside a house where people sit in the evening: Patio?

8. Carbonated, sweetened, non-alcoholic beverages: Pop. Or even just "soft drinks".

9. A flat, round breakfast food served with syrup: Pancake.

10. A long sandwich designed to be a whole meal in itself: Erm, sub I suppose. Usually though it'd be in a baguette so I'd call it that.

11. The piece of clothing worn by men at the beach: Trunks.

12. Shoes worn for sports: Trainers.

13. Putting a room in order: Tidying. Cleaning is like vacuuming but sorting things out is just tidying.

14. A flying insect that glows in the dark: Firefly.

15. The little insect that curls up into a ball: Woodlouse.

16. The children's playground equipment where one kid sits on one side and goes up while the other sits on the other side and goes down: See-saw.

17. How do you eat your pizza: I don't.

18. What's it called when private citizens put up signs and sell their used stuff: We don't get that, we have car boot sales or take it to a fair.

19. What's the evening meal?: Tea. If dinner is to be used it's for the biggest meal of the day, either lunch or tea.


20. The thing under a house where the furnace and perhaps a rec room are: A basement, or cellar, depends.

21. What do you call the thing that you can get water out of to drink in public places: Water fountain.


So yes. Just this from me as all I've done is wear clear tights for the first time in ages paint and eat.

This is quite strange. I've never heard a shopping cart referred to as a trolley. And settee? I've never even heard that expression. You Brits have interesting sayings.
