People who look like chavs

Wait, for the UK folk, do you refer to these various things as

Bathrooms, Gas stations, Football players, and Elevators

or...

Washrooms, Garages, Footballers, and Lifts?

Just asking. A friend of mine went over there once and said there were definite differences.

Bathrooms, petrol stations (garages sometimes), footballers, lifts.

At least round here. Dialects are faggy.

It's also the same thing with French and Quebecer. Except that we do speak very differently.

You're lucky. The farthest I went was Toronto... I'd like to go outside of Canada some time.

We brazilians think portuguese people speak funny. Maybe its the same thing with americans and british.
Well, grats grandy. Go ahead and leave brazil forevur.
Well, I don't know how it is from the Brit side, but most Americans think that a British accents are more profound and commanding sounding. Has something to do with all those consonants. I can imagine that Americans sound lazy and/or uneducated. Correct me if I'm wrong, someone.

Oh yeah, I forgot the thing you have to prepare for most importantly. Rain.

Not always heavy rain, but on and off, cold, dreary rain. Forever.
