Continuing a regular theme, here is a challenge for those of you who do not speak (predominantly) British/UK English as your first language.

Here is a list of popular expressions from the United Kingdom which, according to the Britspeak website, are not in regular use in the United States (it doesn’t mention the rest of the world, so I’ll leave it up to you to decide if it's enough of a challenge).

The challenge is to write a paragraph or so, containing ten (and only ten) of these expressions. More than one entry is allowed as long as they arrive by the closing date in a fortnight’s time – Wednesday 27th September – noon GMT.

Suggestions are welcome for an appropriate prize. Send me a private mail with ideas.

Here's the list:
Agony Aunt
