Basically a pram in the UK is for a baby to lie down in from ages new born to when they can sit up. After that we put them in a buggie.

Reminds me of a funny story my granfather was in SA, visitng relatives, and at the table he asked someone to pass him a NAPKIN, everyone started laughing, he was not refering to a DIAPER  !!
PS. A fag, in US, is far from being a cigarrete 
PPS. I've noticed some of the UK words are taken from the French Dictionary..

You can eat a variety of ways - my kids like butter and jelly or honey, or vegetarian sausage, or even have with a pareve gravy... |
Sounds to me like a scone. |
Chani I know what you are talking about...and southern biscuits are so yummy ooohhhh...are they yummy with some gravy...yummmy...now that I am frum I haven't tasted anything like them. they are simiar to scones but scones aren't as soft and chewy.
