The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.

England Has a Language All Its Own-- Part 2: Playing 'Naughts and Crosses' and Sucking on a 'Dummie'

Every day in England, you'll see babies in prams and pushchairs.  They'll be sucking on dummies as their mothers change wet nappies.  After time goes by, those kids will turn in their nappies for smalls and will even eventually  spend a penny on their own. 

"Spend a Penny" is a British expression for a visit to the loo (bathroom).

Older British kids enjoy candy floss (cotton candy), naughts and crosses (tic-tac-toe), big dippers (roller coasters), and iced lollies (popsicles).

Kids are often in need of an Elastoplast or sticking plaster (Band-Aid), which their parents might buy from the chemist's (pharmacy).
