It's not like any lady hasn't got several pairs of spare shoes she could put on, in the case of getting her's wet.

What cheap shitty roads do you think we have where puddles may form, if we ever do come across one we just walk around it. If a woman expected me to chuck my coat in a puddle then pick it up and put the filthy wet soaking thing back on after and catch Pneumonia then she's not right in the head.

Americans say road too.
Some may refer to sidewalks as pavement though but not the street.
I'd rather die than walk on a sidewalk, what if you want to jog down it or ride a bike on it, I'd be worried about getting fined or shot by the police if I tried.
It's just different accents based on regions usually centred around large cities like London, Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester and then you've got Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales (which also has its own language) but it's all still English although 'slang' words often differ.

By the way, on that tiny island there are more accents than there are in the world's single biggest country - mother Russia. Seems strange, no?
yes it is

As a Brit, I think it is great that we have such variation in accent and dialect over such short distances, even today.
I live in Plymouth - there is a distinct Plymothian accent - just ten miles away to the west, there is a distinct Cornish accent (which changes as you go further west) and ten miles the other way, a Devon accent takes hold (or, interestingly, what passes for RP in 2010). Accents and dialects here still change suddenly over short distances - the various London accents (Henry Higgins would still have a field day) and particularly the Liverpool and Manchester accents bear this out.
I can't believe the rest of northern Europe doesn't have similar accent and dialect changes. We just don't know about them because they don't speak English!
A rivalry born of 1000 years of history but now a bit of a joke.
We all have a laugh about not liking the French from time to time (as, I understand they do about "Le Rosbifs") but it is pretty harmless now.
Picking up an old thread, funnily enough what we now call football was called "Association Football" until the early 1970s (!) and that was shortened to "soccer".
Both terms are now completely disused in Britain though some (deranged) people do talk about "footie". A national campaign to find these "footie" people, round them up and deport them to Greenland is ongoing (or should be.)

The cause was something to do with limited mobility and the organisational pressure required of a small island to be come the worlds greatest power I think.
Russia probably has fewer accents because of her many mass migrations of oppressed muzhiks across her wastes.
Other countries, obviously also have accents, but for such a tiny island it's amazing we have so many.
Strangely all Teutonic nations sound exactly the same; next time you're in Germany and you see a big, tough, drunk border guard off duty, be sure to walk up to him and tell him he sounds just like somebody from Amsterdam. He'll love you for it. :thumbsup:

Why would you tell a German that he sounds like a Dutchman. The languages don't sound anything alike! :dunno:

That was the idea; the Germans are quite sensitive to what they often perceive as the mangling of their language.
The Dutch and the Swiss are the ones that most frequently annoy them (so I hear).
Why else would I specify a large, drunk soldier to say it to?
