A "boot sale" is a garage sale.

"Knock me up" is not as bad as it sounds.

"Take away" is used instead of take-out food.

"Bacon butty" is a bacon sandwich, a term I've heard on "Keep Up Appearences."

I sort of get it, garage is where you park your car; actually no I don't

And WTH is a car park, a nice grassy place where you can take your car and put it on the swings, ride the merry go round and the like? I crack myself up. I tell ye.......

I went to garage or yard sales when I lived in the US. Items were located in either the garage of yard.

Car park (UK) = parking lot (US)



Oh, and gas station in the US is a garage here. Only not the one at your house.

Knock me up and bacon butty seem to belong in a sex manual.
