British toilet = loo, carzi, WC, bog, Ladies or Gents
Pussy = cat
Randy = horny
Cigarette = fag
Bar = local
small sandwich = butty
Us biscuit = Uk scone
pudding = any kind of dessert, if you want Us pudding ask for custard

A UK co-worker once told me that Brits did not eat popcorn because corn is horse food! I am a big Anglophile and I thought I knew most of the Britisms but today I learned 'Kitchen roll' for paper towels.

Publishers have brilliantly found a way to kill the used book market. My family routinely buys PB's at the thrift store for 15 to 50 cents. Try doing that in the future with used e-books. There are many people who love to read but still can't afford $9 for a new book. I know that eventually books won't be printed anymore and that makes me sad beyond words.

Let me guess, she is a personal trainer or fitness instructor of some kind? A lot more of us would look like this too, if we exercised for a living. You don't expect to have the same type of body as a professional athlete, do you? We all need to realize that the standards for fitness professionals do not apply to the general public. At least she looks healthier than the bone thin models and actresses so many of us idolize.

It's also to prevent customer theft. Most stores won't give cash for returns without a receipt. On the topic of cashiers and mental arithmetic. Last week I bought 6, 50 cent food items. The bar code wouldn't scan so the cashier put in a generic code and then could not figure out how much to charge me. I had to tell her the total was $3 and no tax.
