British Vocabulary Quiz

As an American from the Midwest and a lover of language and accents, I've gotten a kick out of comparing how we, in the US, and they, in the UK, speak English. I've learned a few new vocab words while at coffee mornings and while playing Mahjong and thought I'd test you all with this short quiz (answers at the end). Enjoy! ;)

Cheers!
