Quote from: Dawn Kellie on March 23, 2026, 10:00:13 AMIs there a different term in th UK for escalator and people mover?
We use escalators on an incline and travelator on the flat. Older people called them moving staircase's, it made them sound like they were magical!

UK - Petrol, US - Gas

Bangers are not a pounding device in the UK but a kind of food I hear.
Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

A banger is a traditional British saussage (like on a full english) but it is also a clapped out or run down car, a type of firework and can also mean something is good. As in "that tune was a banger"! Confusing or what!

A Digestive sounds like a medicine to help your foods to be digested.  A digestive is also a biscuit.


A digestive is an also known as a sweet-meal biscuit and it was originated in Scotland.

The digestive was first developed in 1839 by two doctors to aid digestion.

Thank you for this, On my recent trip I saw Cilantro on the menu a number of times but no one could tell me what it was, and I had no idea.
I did recognise the flavor but couldn't quite put my finger on it.
