The two separate taps for water was an eye-opener for me. I couldn't get the water regulated and ended up almost always scalding my hands. It's time to up grade the plumbing, dudes! :)

The most difficult accent for me to understand in the British Isles was Welsh, with the Scottish a fairly close second, but as we spent more time in Scotland, it became easier to pick up.

If you don't have a mixer valve on your faucet, you have to wash your hands in either freezing cold or burning hot water most of the time. Mixing the two to get a more moderate temperature of water is much better. I would assume Brits have them at least in their showers, or else else how could you shower comfortably?

What I don't understand is why "clerk" is pronounced "clark," "derby" is "darby," "Kerr" is "Carr," etc.

My soul was forever scarred by the teensy weensy tiny bite of Marmite I put on the tip of my tongue. No amount of water and scrubbing with a napkin would remove the foulness. With all the tasty things there are to eat in the world, why eat the 'ites?
