yep, 'candy' and 'sweets' being another...

there are occasional exceptions. 'popping candy' is known by that name here... and 'candy floss'...can't think of any other examples.

Very funny lady and I always thought a little underappreciated. I'll remember her best from SCTV, BEETLEJUICE, and "Schitt's Creek." RIP.

EL (1953): A Mexican landowner seduces a woman into marrying him, but his paranoid jealousy quickly poisons the union. Psychologically astute moralist melodrama from Luis Bunuel with barely a touch of Surrealism. 3.5/5.

I ruled out moving to the UK because of weather.  :bouncegiggle: I'm looking into Spain. Really loved my trip there. (This potential move is not all about the political situation here, I've long thought about moving to Europe to retire, but the political climate may have accelerated my schedule.)

There's really not a lot of people thinking of emigrating from the US right now. People talk about it without really meaning it.

"Crisps" is not a word Americans use for any food item. Lil' Cerbs answer is closest, but if you asked an average American if they wanted "crisps" they'd have no idea what you meant.

There's also the difference between "cookies" and "biscuits," which are basically the reverse of the UK.

I think a united Europe is on the way. What's happening in the world is accelerating it, hopefully before it's too late. Right now in the UK, public opinion seems to have swung in favour of rejoining the EU. Not sure if that will happen (although I am hopeful that it will). We are getting more and more of Kristi's relatives and friends asking about moving to the UK. When that's happening in a pretty solidly right wing state like Utah, I hate to think what it must be like in the rest of the country.
