US vs UK

[stuffymuffy]

Very strange about the time zones! Maybe its because the US is very large? We have none of those networks apart from Virgin! I must sound like a right nutter wanting to know all these things, but it's just something I've always been interested in!

Nutter We say crazy, or nuts maybe. Or things like "not the sharpest tool in the shed", one fry short of a happy meal"
But you don't sound like either hun! That's what the thread is for

LOL I like how they call people Twats! I used that the other day actually!

Haha twat is a very naughty word, does it mean the same to them as us? My step- mom would probably slap my face off if she heard me say that

Ummm... so it does not mean jerk!?

Haha not here! At my high school it was one of the words you could get written up for saying.

Ah man! It means the "C" word for girl's privates down there doesn't it!? I hate the "C" Word! LOL

Yes it is haha I'm not a fan of the word either. My parent's are very big on a proper vocabulary and "speaking like you are an educated individual" so I've never been much on swearing.

My parents are the same. I should have known about the word for my DH is in the Army and they all have Potty mouths! LOL

 

[majm1241]

Did I run off the other teens in here? Or is it time for the other side of the ocean to be sleeping? LOL

 

[stuffymuffy]

Ahhh i see very interesting! Sorry nursery isn't compulsory here either! It's so strange how different everything is though, eh? I definatly have to take a holiday to America at some point, I just want to go to a restaurant at 3 in the morning

Haha it's not that exciting I promise you! Usually just a lot of drunk, obnoxious people. I went to the diner around 3 in the morning today because it was too hott to sleep.

Are you allowed to smoke in restaurants and public places there?

Haha they sure do! All 3 of my brothers are in the military and when they come home from deployment they get quite a few smacks upside the head for their mouths

Not in all states. But here it's illegal in restaurants, malls, playgrounds, schools etc. I never smoked either so it wasn't a big deal for me, I was actually quite happy about the law about a lot of people were rather upset by it. You also can't talk on your cell or text while driving.

 

[stuffymuffy]

Oh and you can't drink in public at all, no matter what time Except at like restaurants and bars. But you can't just walk down the street with a beer or go to the park with one

Yes, they are trying to ban smoking in all public places but some places still allow it. Like the Waffle house which is another 24 hour diner. I think it is gross to smoke around food! Blech! I don't like smoking period but I definitely want to enjoy a meal without smelling it.

Oh, y'all say Going on holiday there and we call it Vacation! LOL

 

[Christine1993]

hehe yeah we call it a holiday!

you can't be on the phone here whilst driving either.

i think your allowed to walk down the street with a drink, but i've never seen someone do it lol.

also, before the ban was out were people allowed to smoke in the playground?!

 

[stuffymuffy]

Yea you could smoke anywhere really. Along time ago, around when my mom was in school students could smoke in school during lunch time, now it's illegal to even smoke in the parking lot or on the lawn!.

You can drink in public in different States/Cities as long as you have it in a cup.

Ah I didn't know that, here you can't. You can't be intoxicated in public either. Things are rather different even inside the same country.

Yes, drunk in public is a big no no too!!! LOL

 

[Christine1993]

if anyone was caught smoking on school premises we would have been suspended are you not allowed to smoke on your own garden?x

 

[Christine1993]

you arent allowed to be drunk in public? madness! haha

 

[stuffymuffy]

Well yeah, you can smoke anywhere on your own property. Although they're trying to get a bill passed right now that says that you can't smoke in front of children under a certain age, but I doubt it will go through.
