Haha, I ask for sellotape and tipex aswell... "whaaaaaat?" is the response.
Bin bags also gets the same response, aswell as jumper and lift instead of elevator, and washing up liquid, dish soap here I believe?
But I love those little differences we have.

And no thanks to the marmite on toast yak yak yak!

I worked in an office in Canada for a year on a Working Holiday Visa (I'm now back in Australia waiting for my spousal sponsorship to be approved) - I found Canada and Australia VERY similar - but I still managed to put my foot in my mouth fairly often - I think the funniest one was when I asked a colleague if he had watered the pot plants on my desk - apparently it's a "house plant" and a "pot plant" is something very different!!!
