The Random Thread and the Royal Family of Canadia, the USA, and Great Britain

Fog lights - This one took me two years to realise. In America fog lights are white and are at the front of the car, low down. In England they are very intense red and are on the back of the car, so that in real fog, the car behind you can see you. This is important if you are importing a US car to the UK as you have to get this fixed.

Jam sandwich - This is a motorway police car. It is called a jam sandwich because if it is white with a bright orange stripe along the side, that's just what it looks like. Obviously it is a bit bigger and has wheels and a couple of uniformed gentlemen inside it, but hey!

Juggernaut - What you would call an 18 wheeler - any large lorry would be a juggernaut.

Near side lane - The slow lane to you, though to us, all your lanes are slow! (Sorry - couldn't resist it!).

Traffic wardens - We never came across traffic wardens in Texas. The nearest thing we saw was the traffic cops. Our wardens wander the streets of our towns in their black uniforms, hiding until you leave your car illegally parked for 1 or 2 nano-seconds then they write you a ticket and stick it your screen before you can say "You B****rd".

Zebra crossing - Similar to the pelican but with flashing orange beacons on either side. If a pedestrian steps onto a either crossing, you should stop. Unless you are in London in which case your job is to kill them.

The Little Vampire is on.


I can't wait for the Sweeny Todd soundtrack to come in. And The Fame Monster.

Personally, I think athletes are way overpaid. It's just a game.

Teachers, now there's someone who should be paid like that.

(I know, I'm a slow replier.)

I agree, mainly because I want to be a teacher when I grow up Elementary school. 4th or 5th grade to be exact.
