You might think it would be easy to converse in the UK since we speak the same language and all but you’d be wrong. I believe it was Churchill (I always think it is Churchill) said, “England and America are two countries separated by the same language.” The accents here are varied and can throw you off.   We still have the closed caption mode on our TV so we can read what they’re saying.   I think, after 5 months, I’m almost ready to remove it.   And they use lots of slang that has no bearing on anything we know. Some language is literal, making it easy to grasp, such as “Way Out” is used for an exit. “Take away” is our “to go.” Richmond-on-Thames means the village of Richmond is located on the Thames River.   St Leonard’s-on-sea.   Wilton-on-the-Nave (marshland). Matt suggested I mention that fen is another British word for marshland.   Hence, Fenway Park, home of his beloved Red Sox,   sits on a marshland.   Or they could have called it Baseball...
