**All things British**

1. Drive on the left side of road
2. Bangers and mash
3. Some words have “ou” where American just have “o”  
3a. Those aren’t the only ones where spelling varies. See ‘criticise’ or ‘offence’, for example.
4. High tea
5. Rhyming slang
6. The white cliffs of Dover
7. Boots, torches, and lorries  
7a. _Lots_ of different meanings for different words. Even the most unflappable Brit has a difficult time keeping a stiff upper lip when Americans refer to a belt-mounted pouch located at the base of the spine as a ‘fanny pack’.
8. The Beeb
9. Warm beer on tap _(actually, cellar temperature – around 50 - 55° – rather than just a couple degrees above freezing)_

Only possible in a climate that is so cold that a cellar _could_ be 50° - 55° 🙂
