Not so much but often to make myself feel more British, I do take the pram out of the boot of my car to put in the lift to go up to the flat because carrying it up the apples and pears would be too tiring. But once there, I'll watch telly while eating bangers and mash with spotted dick from the corner sweet shop for afters.

I've long been an Anglophile. Have had a British penpal since high school. Love Monty Python and other British comedy. I even chose to read, "Return of the Native," by Thomas Hardy in high school for a project because it was the subject of a Python skit ("Novel Writing," where it's treated as a sports event with a stadium of people watching Thomas Hardy write). So, I'm sure some more British-sounding phrases have permanently attached themselves to my vocabulary. Ooh, and there was a British Christmas Faire here in Kansas City this past holiday season so that was fun.

Never bee though. One day.
