The American's Guide to speaking British.

I just noticed that Americans aren't supposed to use the word "bloody".

Darn. I use that word all the time.

Guess I'll have to find a new word.

Funny i hardly ever use any of those phrases! Most british phrases round where i live are "hey up", "job's a good 'un" and " ya rite luv?" In lots of other countries, brits are portrayed as posh old gentlemen and ladies saying things like 'tophole' and 'balderdash!'. Maybe that's just in the south, but where i live i have never heard anyone say anything like that without being sarcastic! *One has to admit though, one does find remarks like that rather funny!* ha ha ha
