My wife still remembers my nephew in NZ asking her if she'd like to see his big ****. It was a minute before she realised he meant deck.

Brilliant! I'd forgotten that one. It's right though. It's like the one about the NZ farmer who couldn't get any ***...and went on to say he had 5000 tons of potatoes...
My nephew asked for a pin. My wife gave him a pin. No, he said, I mean a pin. Yes, I gave you a pin...oh, sorry, you mean a pen. Yes, he said that's what I asked for - a pin. So a pen's a pin, she said, what do you call a pin? A pin, he said. :?

My sister told me they have major problem teaching spelling in schools because of the vowel shift.

Slightly different, but I have been know to ask where a particular spanner is



My son managed to loose one of the set and wondered what I was asking for :roll: :roll:

I talk with DaveR, late of this parish, every Sunday evening. We usually end up falling about laughing at trans-atlantic differences.
I had another lesson last weekend. "You pronounce it funny!", says he. Apparently I've been pronouncing Adirondack wrongly all these years. It's not A-DIR-ondack, as I have always pronounced it, it is Adi-RON-dack. This from somebody who says A-LOO-minum.
Sheesh!

An old Monty Python (??) joke that relies 100% on the ear of the beholder, and thus doesn't travel well.

Q: What's the difference between a Buffalo and a Bison?
A: You can't wash your hands in a Buffalo.
