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 3: About Those Scribbling Blocks and Crisps

In a stationery store, you can get sticky tape or Sellotape (adhesive tape), rubbers (erasers), and scribbling blocks (scratch pads).  At garden shops, those with green fingers (a green thumb) might pick u some courgette (zucchini), swede (rutabaga) or aubergine (eggplant) seeds.

If you need a torch (flashlight), visit the ironmonger's (hardware store).

In Britain, fries are chips and potato chips are crisps.  A beef burger made with mince (hamburger meat), comes on a toasted bap (bun).  For pudding (dessert), have some sponge (cake).
