I thought this sign was cute. It is a sign for the women's restroom. You know how on our signs, the dress is more triangular. In here, the dress looks like a petticoat of something.
They call restrooms "toilets"
This means, YieldI know that England and Scotland are some of the least foreign countries you can visit, because they speak English (somewhat) but they do have some weird ways of saying things. They call "reservations" "book-its" like for restaurants. When you get off the subways and things they have signs "Mind the gap" or "Mind your step" instead of watch your step or watch the gap.They use the metric system for measuring things, so when you get gas you get it in liters and you use meters instead of inches and feet, and they measure distance with kilometers and the temperature in Celsius. They even tell time in military time. So you could imagine our confusion most of the time we were there!
