Where are you aiming to go, when you are in the UK ? That changes the
words you might find useful.

Hi Steve,

I'm a 'merkin' happy to get to the mother country....

I'll be in London, Canterbury, Dover, Hastings, Salisbury, Bath and
Oxford.

One that's bound to work is the phrase: 'My round, what are you having?'

Good One!

Yeah. Last time I was in England I learned to love Guinness Stout and
black & tans. I also like steak and kidney pie!

You might be entertained by the definition of 'merkin' on www.dictionary.com
(we in UK know all about this because some guy gatecrashed some royal's
birthday party wearing one)

As for phrases, "sorry" seems to be popular.

To anyone from the midlands, try 'canst kick a bow agin a wow en boost
it?' Fast delivery, rising pitch on the last two words, very short on
the 'oo', as a question.
You could get a puzzled frown, a slap, a laugh and free drink or a game
of footy (soccer).

For heaven's sake DON'T mention Tony B/liar, policemens helmets or
council tax.

Be brave!

OOOPS! "American" will do from now on.

Hopefully, I'll be a considerate guest and won't have to use it. Never
know though- I'll be driving and trying to stay left. That still has me
worried........

Another tip is to avoid trying to sound like Dick van Dyke in Mary
Poppins ....

Also, anything weather related always goes down a storm (!) in the UK.

Enjoy your trip !

regards,

Andrew
