Oh thought of another one, when you're told to 'bring a plate' to a get together you don't question whether they have enough, or think they're rude!

Although have to say there is one I still cannot quite get my head round and that is when you have a party and people bring booze and then they take it away with them again at the end of the night! I still cant quite bring myself to do that and then you get given your food to take back home again at the end of the night!

When you can tell the difference between an Aussie and a Kiwi accent.
When you stop wondering sweet as a what?
When you get used to sittin on the "dick"
I agree that the taking drink home at the end of the night is strange though - we knew they were mainly Brits who came to our bbq as they left their drink at the end of the night - thanks guys!

Very strange with the taking their booze home with them isn't it, we invited some friends for a bbq and they brought their own food as well

The price of clothing starts to seem more reasonable to you again and you don't nearly have a heart attack looking at the price ticket of something!

You take your car for it's WOF (MOT) and the garage doesn't use it as a licence to print their own money!
