чудесная подборка, кстати:
This is intended as a sort of FAQ sheet to aid American (usually) fan-writers trying to give their stories a convincing British setting. It lists common (and some less common) differences which seem to pull a lot of writers up. More will be added as I think of them.
например:
Please note that the American distinction between “hard” and “soft” cider does not exist here. ALL CIDER SOLD IN THE UK IS HIGHLY ALCOHOLIC. Be aware that in some areas, especially in the English South-West (the home of cider-making), conning innocent American tourists into getting blinded on what they think is just apple-juice is a local sport.
хорошие какие.
