The Welsh word for oeufs is wyau.
I just liked the container. Holds a dozen eggs and has paint splattered on it to make it look like chicken poop.

True, that. In fact I don't think the US has given up or lost any of its colonies, except Cuba of course.
We call it a 'mixer tap'. No wonder you couldn't find any here, since nobody had a clue what you were talking about.
Don't forget chips vs. crisps....Fries vs Chips or Football vs Soccer,
Armed vs Unarmed ,Trunk vs Boot, Truck vs Lorry and A Dental plan
So they just give everything a chlorine wash and cross their fingers and hope no one dies.

That is an odd mediaeval custom, like enjoying lukewarm beer

Also true, that is actually a fine example of archetypical British humour.
Portabello market - guess the name of the movie/book my wife is suggesting for a gift of infinitely worthless value.
Well, the one thing I will give to the Brits... they do have humor, but it is best in small doses. Too much of it, and you'll dry out your skin and worse, you could darken your urine and can lead to dizziness and fainting. Once, I binged some Brit Box comedy, and had to have an IV for three days. Just sucks the moisture out of ya.
Goodbye, Mr. Chips! I'm not quite the uncultured savage I portray on TV.
It is possible that the custom of driving on the left dates back to pre-history and may later have been used as an early road safety measure. At a time when the main danger on the roads was mugging, careful travellers would pass on-coming strangers on the left with their sword arm towards the passer-by.
That is probably why left-handed (sword)fighters , like myself, are so much dreaded.
Makes sense, not ?

It seems that most of the world agrees with US on which side to drive on. The only places where they drive on the left are countries where the British forced them to... and Japan. Everyone else just uses common sense.
