Well worth a look

"Scheme" is an interesting choice of words to use on their own home page.

There have been many who have travelled the "managed money" route but nobody I know has stayed on that path for the long run, meaning something always seems to go wrong in the end (either they couldn't turn a profit, or something went wrong in the profit sharing end of things)

In any event, buyer beware, as always....

PA,

Scheme has none of the evil connotations in Britain that it does here. You see ads for "New Car Insurance Scheme" or "Government supports new school lunch scheme" all the time in English papers. Just another example of two people separated by a common language.

Lift -- elevator

Punter

Toilet is the polite term for our "rest room" or "lavatory"

Brilliant means hearty congratulations or "that's great", as in "I just won a pik-6."
"That's brilliant!"

"I'll call you tomorrow"
"Brilliant"


and most famously,
"Bloody" as an oath.

Of course all this might be irrelevant since it's an Aussie site.

Question to Backandlay, do you use similar slang/terminology Down Under than the Brits do?

[GameTheory]

While in a London restaurant and I'd ask, "Where is the bathroom?" I typically received the response, "Ha ha! Are you going to take a bath?"

My favorites are the British signs with their awkward directness: "Way Out" signs instead of "Exit", etc.

[Old Timer]

The surly one is so right!
My favorite is their term for a bookie - he's a Turf Accountant.

Or the deskclerk at the hotel asking "What time would you like to be knocked up in the morning"? My wife and I looked at each other and almost died laughing!

My point was only that it was an interesting choice of words, considering they are obviously trying to target a US audience with their concentration on US racing....

My favorite one is:

A "Rubber" to a Brit is an eraser to us.
