Stupid autocorrect. That was supposed to say YOU ARE ALL WONDERFUL
I guess its a cousin of a prawn or a crayfish? It's tail is more flat and wideWhat's a yabby?
We have those, they're called royals.The North American version of this is the Mallomar. Graham cracker base. Also similar ingredients in a moon pie. But I doubt if they are as tasty as what you have in the UK. Think the big difference is in the quality of your UK chocolate. Huge taste difference to what we have in North America. In Canada, we have a lot of Rowntree/Nestle chocolate bars like Kitkat, Coffee Crisp, etc but the actual chocolate in them just doesn't taste as wonderful as your UK chocolate. We sometimes joke that its your English Jersey cows and that they give superior milk for the milk chocolate.
We have creme and scream eggs here in Australia too.It's funny you mention that. I work in the UK Cadbury factory and the milk that goes into the chocolate is actually a big factor in flavor. So you guys were bang on the money.
There is a different cadbury factory in Ireland which makes chocolate for the Irish market and their chocolate tastes completely different to English Cadbury chocolate. And one of the reasons is that's because it comes from Irish cows. The same goes for aussi cadbury.
The only thing is our cows are Herefordshire cows not jersey. But, to me they make yummy milk too.
You Canadians are also the only other place in the world who manufactures creme eggs. It's UK and canada, that's it.
We call it a boot. The boot of the car.In the southeastern US, we call the back of the car the boot or trunk. I have some friends in the UK that call it the boot. We also say "yonder" - i.e. 'we're about to go over yonder'. My UK friends also said yonder! I thought that was pretty wild since you don't hear people saying yonder when you get too far out of the south here!
We call it a boot. The boot of the car.
And yonder gets used occasionally here too. But if we are talking about somewhere really far away in the middle of nowhere, we call it "whoop whoop"
We have access to creme eggs year round I think, or we used to? I don't eat them (not a chocolate fan) so I'm not sure.We have those, they're called royals.
And I think your moon pie might be similar to our wagon wheel
We used to have wagon wheels in Canada when I was a kid. They made a mint one (had bright neon grasshopper green marshmallow filling) that was to die for!
We have creme and scream eggs here in Australia too.
Yaay! I always pick up one or 2 at Easter as a treat. But they seem to be growing a bit smaller each year? (or maybe I'm getting bigger . . . and not in a good way!)
We use "in the sticks" as well.We call it the trunk in Canada.
The only time we use "yonder" is in reference to aviation/flying in the last century as in "the wild blue yonder."
Never heard of "whoop whoop." But for out in the woods away from civilization we say "out in the sticks" or "out in the boonies." Boonies being a play on boondocks.
If you asked for a "hole in the wall" in Canada, we'd give you directions to a bar. Some "hole in the walls" are fun & trendy. But traditionally, they are rough & tumble joints where the locals hang out & drink heavily.A slang term for an ATM is a "hole in the wall" here.
Not quite on topic but for Princess Jes & the Aussies & Kiwis: have you considered going to the Dis parks in Asia? And for BagoLaughs & the Brits: have you tried Disney Paris? Thinking that the savings in airfare alone would make it tempting. I understand the park sz is not the same as the huge WDW Florida but still . . . A huge plus for a Cdn is quick direct flight to Orlando. And if I go with a US carrier out of a Northern US city (eg Syracuse, Buffalo, etc) then the airfare is competitive.
30.5 hours of travel at a rough calculation

But the one thing that makes WDW really accessible is all the package deals which really bring the prices down for holidays in Orlando. I'm sure that's gotta be the same in Aus and Canada too?
So what about you? Is it mainly WDW or can you do DL and Cali just as easily?
A Yorkshire pudding is very similar to a popover. And you are right, traditionally served with a roast dinner with gravy - less so in Australia but certainly in the UKIf anyone wants to explain what a York pudding is, that would be great. Looks like a roll with gravy.
As mattincanberra said, the deals are usually a flights/accom/tickets for DL, never anything for WDW. I had to school out travel agent at work on WDW for her cousin who is headed there in a few weeks!!A lot of Brits do DLP, you need only look at my avatar. We don't even have to fly as we have the euro star which goes direct from London and literally drops you at the entrance to the parks. I'm not kidding it's like 100m from DLP train station to DLP park entrance. When I was growing up that was my only Disney experience as it wasn't until I was 14 when I did my 1st trip to WDW.
I've also been to Tokyo Disney which was amazing! But that was last year and was self funded. It wasn't cheap but I've always wanted to go to Japan and Tokyo Disney was just an added extra. It was so worth it.
I'm currently planning a trip to Hong Kong in 2016 as again I've always wanted to go and Disney is a nice little extra which just happens to be there.
Flights with BA (British Airways) are roughly the same for all 3 destinations £600-£800 at quiet times of the year. But the one thing that makes WDW really accessible is all the package deals which really bring the prices down for holidays in Orlando. I'm sure that's gotta be the same in Aus and Canada too?

Nope. Most flights from australia are out of sydney to lax, sometime qantas will go direct from melbourne but they're not usually the cheapest fare.That it dedication. I commend you princess Jess! That is honestly very impressive. Are there no direct flights from Melbourne?
And yes, we are used to having to do long flights.Aussie here - been to Disneyland Hong Kong (its tiny, and when I was last there some years ago, it's coming attraction was Small World) and Universal Singapore (was there last month) - think a smaller, more "safe and mild" version of Islands of Adventure (with a casino underneath!!!), but never been to Tokyo Disney.
I think for many Australians who travel we are "used" to long flights, and once you are on the plane the 5 hours difference in getting to LA vs Tokyo feels less huge. We tend to get Disneyland marketing vs WDW - so Qantas and Air New Zealand in particular will always have a deal of some form into Disneyland - and i think taking the kids to Disneyland/Universal/Hollywood is an aspirational trip for many Australians.
And yes I say Cray-g for Craig... I spend a fair bit of time in the states and until Craig came on the show I had never thought about it but now wonder how many Craigs I have upset in meetings/social situations by calling them not their name!
And on the more general word thing, I am surprised when I'm with mates in the states the things that entertain us - Kevin was entertained by my calling beets beetroot, I am endlessly confused by the scone/biscuit/cookie conundrum (how can all these things be interchangeable), and the number of different words people have for soft drink/pop/soda/coke....
That said, regional variation isn't unique to the US, when I went to school in Brisbane, Australia we carried our ports to school and left them on a port rack outside our classroom, and ate picnic ham sandwiches for lunch, and when we got home put on a pair of togs and went for a swim in the backyard pool...
