England Has a Language All Its Own-- Part 4: Places and Driving in the U.K.

Then, there are those great British place names like Upper and Lower Slaughter, Once Brewed and the Itching Field.  You'll visit "brilliant" (wonderful sights, that will give you "goose pimples" (goose bumps).

Your car will have a bonnet and a boot  rather than a hood and a trunk.  My family has always referred to a car's trunk as the "Boot."  Put it in the boot.  The what?

You'll drive on motorways (as opposed to interstates).  That gal on GPS always refers to motorways.  And, when you driving asphalt becomes divided, you are on a dual carriageway.

Never go anticlockwise (counter clockwise) in a roundabout (traffic circle).

Gas is petrol, a truck is a lorry and when you hit a tailback (traffic jam), don't get your knickers in a twist (upset) --  just be patient and queue up (line up).

Oh, Dem English.  --RoadBrit
