This week's installment of TTTUYOPR*

Here are things that confused/amused me this week:

• They don't say "From A to Z" here.  They say "From A to Zet"
• British only has one 't.'  I'd never get that without spell check.  It doesn't look right
• Today I bought a box of kleenex that was marked 'man size.'  I assumed it meant the box was mansize (which it was, in my opinion).  But the tissues themselves are huge. Its like blowing your nose into the Herald.
• I thought my hands had gotten smaller until I realized they just use taller paper in the office here.  Phew
• You don't say 'sweater.'  You say 'jumper.'  
• You don't say "pants" unless you're referring to your skivvies.  If you mean pants, you say 'trousers.'
• You want Italian dressing on that?  Good luck.  I could not find it in 2 grocery stores yesterday, and if you buy a to-go salad at a deli, they give you a squeeze pack of mayo with it.  Mom, if you're reading this, you should bring a 3 oz, transparent bottle of Four Seas Zesty Italian
• The teeth...not as bad as you've heard, but not an unfounded rumor
• Brit Head:  There's a stereotypical British look I've noticed.  A very large head with big features.  The archetype for this is the guy who doesn't talk in Gone in 60 Seconds.
• A Period is not the end of a sentence.  The end of a sentence is a "full stop."  A period is something that certainly will not be discussed in this blog.  Full stop

Excellent advertisement for British Geico

For your amusement

Excellent advertisment for something else altogether, but I'm not sure what.  Guess that makes it a shit advertisement  afterall
