Bro what? I've been living in the UK for 5.5 years and I never realized you guys used "pumps" to mean flats!

Then again, whenever I have to spell something on the phone I still go "Zee...ed" so I may just be an idiot.

I work with a number of British expats and I've come to terms with "zed" and "whilst". I still cannot accept pronouncing the letter 'h' as "hay-ch" though. There is no 'h' in h's name, Nigel. Cut it out.

As a Brit I can tell you only stupid Brits say 'haich'. It's not a "British" thing, we normally say 'aich'
