Some words used in the boston area but not in many other american english dialects (or with different meanings) are:

* gonzo - crazy, bizarre; the term originated in south boston but is now used nationally[citation needed]

* grinder - a submarine sandwich, usually toasted

Watched the behind the scenes special on the Deathly Hallows, and I was able to slow down the scene where they're in the tunnel to see what buses were in there. There was the X80 to Bluewater, and the 96 to Dartford. Now here's the problem. Both buses were single deckers and red. Here's the X80 bus:

Or:

Here's the 96:

Also, the 96 doesn't go through the tunnels. It runs between Bluewater & Woolwich.

 

[LondonUnderground]

oh, i have a picture from the tunnel, coming out of it and looking at the bridge, ill go upload it and post it.

 

[marypops!]

Also, because the buses were going to Bluewater and Dartford, it does mean they were going the wrong way! They should of been on the bridge, not the tunnels.

 

[LondonUnderground]

in the tunnel.

recognise it?!
sorry for the bad-ish pictures, me and my friend were in the back of the car :')

 

[marypops!]

Of course I remember it, I went through it on Thursday to watch the movie in the first place

Actually, it was 18th September

Two bad things about Deathly Hallows the movie:

1. Dudley doesn't say thanks to Harry for saving his life, adding some nice character development.
2. No giving Kreacher the fake locket, making him happier and also treating everyone much better to the point where he's likeable.

I don't think I mentioned them before...
