British motoring translations

By Paul Crowe

Ok, you just bought your shiny new Triumph and you’re right proud, you are, but wait! If you show up at the local pub and talk like an American, they’ll laugh and tell you to get a Harley. Don’t despair, there’s help, The American’s Guide to Speaking British. It will make you a proper English gent, after all, if you say you need some gas, they may think you’re barmy and tell you to eat some beans. Petrol, boy, petrol! There’s lots of other help over there, too.
