there are a lot of words/phrases that just don't translate well between american english versus british or australian english |

at 8:54 AM, Wednesday April 1, 2009 EDT "drink driving" IS a british expression just a "bear with a sore head" is. I'm sure that these expressions are as much a mystery to you as the many americanisms on XSketch are to us Brits. But hopefully an enjoyable way to learn of the different cultures.
