A pocket-size handy guide to the terms and expressions that differ in British English vs. American English (boot for trunk, bonnet for hood, lift for elevator, petrol for gas, trolley for cart, loo for bathroom, etc.). Rhyming slang, pronunciation and spelling differences, conversion charts, cultural differences and much more is included. Great for travelers, Anglophiles, and expatriates on both sides "of the pond." A dictionary of the "A to Zed" separating our common language. "Take a shufti" inside--maybe you can "suss it out."
