the best bit about this thread has been finding out what other nations think of as being peculiarly British that we just don't notice. I was thinking "High Street? What's so British about "High Street?" -- but of course it is, you US guys say Main street or something. But what we realised that we needed was something that would work for the potential British attendees who aren't on this list and get no resonance out of words that are just everyday to them. This is what made it so darn difficult! Whatever, I've loved this thread! You wait -- we'll be doing one for you US guys next...
