Who wudda thunk?

This is going to be a list of things that Americans probably didn't expect about the British. I'll update it periodically when I am flooded with new insights.

- Many MANY Brits are now calling football "soccer." There are stores everywhere that sell apparel and refer to the sport as soccer in the shop name.

- Brits use that "A4" paper size that I've never seen in the U.S.

- Sweaters are called "jumpers"

- "To-go" is called "take-away"
