[QUOTE="coffee4u, post: 76028510, member: 415399"] Not from the UK so don't know if you want the Aussie perspective, but I have no trouble understanding American's or Brits apart maybe for some of the slang. Funny story from back near the start of the internet. I was on a parenting board (so this is written language) and the topic came up of 'jumpers'. To me a jumper is a knitted long sleeve top. When they talked about wearing pants or not with a jumper I was o_O until I learnt a 'jumper' is some kind of pinafore dress. ^_^ From the other side, my dad (who is English) had an American many years ago ask him where the 'rest room' was. My poor dad had no clue what that was and pointed him to a park bench. LOL I about died laughing when he told me that. [/QUOTE]
