Ring Me Up

This photo was taken at one of our favorite London neighborhoods -- Covent Garden. Have you heard the expression, "Two nations divided by a common language?" I find the differences completely fascinating.

How do you spell color (colour)?
How do you pronounce schedule?

"Would you ring me up?"
In America, this phrase would mean, "I'm ready to complete the check-out process to purchase this item."  In the U.K., this phrase means, "Call me."

What differences in words, phrases and meanings do you find interesting?

Been here 13 years and I learned a new one at work the other day. I thought there was a misspelling on a sign someone made. Kerbside/ Curbside

A boot and a bonnet - - Are these items of clothing or something related to an automobile?

I fairly sure they're articles of clothing. The ladies boot of past times was worn so tight there was need for a hook to secure it on the foot.
