Typical British words and phrases

Hi,
I'm English through and through. My family were all cockneys. Not me though, I was born in Camebridge because my family were running a pub/resturant there.

Just so you know..
a tenner is actually £10...(the clue is in the question) as in a fiver is £5. BTW we don't say twentyer :D

other monetry terms are
a pony... £25
a monkey... £500
dough
dosh
smackers
bread and honey
bangers and mash
penny pincher...tight with their money.

oh and spend a penny ??.... nope! it's not that! ....it's to have a wee.
I Love England... we're so weird lol... waves imaginary patriotic flag

Hi All,
For all the UK Royal Family Lovers .
You will know (and be very excited about if you're anything like me, any excuse for a party :D) that in June 2022 Her Majesty The Queen will become the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, Seventy Years of service.
There are many great plans in the making for the celebrations.
An extended bank holiday has been granted from Thursday 2nd to Sunday 5th June.
Communities all over the UK will have their celebratory juices over flowing during this time.
One such age old tradition is the lighting of Beacons, which will illuminate the UK, Channel Islands, Isle of Man and UK Overseas Territories.
For the first time, beacons will also be lit in each Capital City of the Commonwealth countries. What an amazing sight it will be.
So I'm asking you all to share your ideas for THE MOST AMAZING time a care home can have, given all our limits with budget, you being the only events organizer in sight when something needs doing and all your usual go to entertainers are already booked out in other community events.( that isn't actually how it is yet but you get the idea) I want something Super Special.
Share away Team GC'S xx

Guess the Animal Crossword

Hi, We had a go at this crossword, not realizing until after i had printed it that it was Australian related. Anyway we did our best, and actually got on quite well. Only one thing, isn't the spiny animal an ACHIDNA ? I think it's spelt wrong on the crossword. I hate picking faults. Sorry, don't want to offend the person that made the crossword.
