It's been a while since I posted one of these, so here is another little quiz - mostly for the benefit of my non-British friends! Here are a number of words and phrases commonly used in Britain (or they were common years ago), and I would like you to identify them and their meanings.
Some are slang, and some are just regular words or phrases - as weird as they may sound. Some are more regional, but are common enough to be included here. So, no cheating (ie using Google), and let me know your answers!
