When I was younger I went on a driving holiday around America. Or should I say a road trip. In Britain there are so many US sitcoms and talk shows on TV that most people know their fair share of American English. But the differences in the two languages did still cause me some trouble once or twice especially the night my car got a flat tire. Wisconsin in the winter, it was really cold outside, it was snowing and my car had a flat tire.

I walked to the nearest small town and found a garage. The tow truck took me back to the car and the mechanic got out and asked me where I kept the spare wheel. I told him of course, the wheel was in the boot. He had no idea what I was talking about. With a confused expression he said to me 'the wheels in your boot''
