The wife's Mini Cooper is poorly.
'Looks like the high pressure fuel pump chief', said the chirpy garage chap.
'Is that expensive?' I enquired, hesitantly.
'Nah, 'bout a grand fella', he chortled back.
Hilarious.

How about if you were to get the part?

Only "some"!
Who in their right mind removes their shoes, then puts their feet, in socks, on the seat opposite on a train?

Hmmm... I have a funny feeling that what you lot call ham isn't quite the same as what us lot call ham. I think what you lot call ham is in fact gammon.

Mesdames Poppy and Lexi aren't keen on gammon, but they do share a small slice of ham between them at lunchtime.

Ham here is usually the pre cooked and cured rear leg of a pig. I think what you refer to as Gammon we would call Canadian Bacon, and our bacon is streaky, from the pork belly.

I was researching into compressed air nail guns last night, 18g brad nailers in particular. A couple of minutes ago I opened up the Firefox main page to discover that one suggested website was "NH".

It turned out to be a site called Nailed Hard. The professionals there had very little interest in carpentry.

It is a word!

Because spewage is pronounced with a silent /p/ it comes out ''poowage''. Is that also a word? Outside of a pay cheque context, obvs.

Hmmm, here bacon comes in two main types - streaky, which is from belly, and back bacon, which comes more from the chops.

Gammon comes either in a large lump or in thick slices from the leg.

I think they use special square pigs to make ham...
