Across the Pond people say “Fall” instead of “Autumn”. Apparently it’s got something to do with the leaves falling. Rather literal wouldn’t you say. Why yes ma’am. Interesting how two cultures that are Kissin-Cousins don’t really speak the same language. True to say the subtleties are often less than subtle unless you're really in-tune and are tuned-in. Have you ever wondered why the bathroom doesn’t have a bath? Or imagine going out in just your pants. And what would you put in your fanny pack? But what’s the worst that could happen?

And does it really matter though how you spell colour. Or is it color. Really. Isn’t it the little nuances that make us both more colourful? Colorful. Colourful. Oh, hang it!

What exactly is the difference between a chestnut and a conker? Well, for starters, you roast one over an open fire. The other you smash  to bits so yours becomes the prize fifty-er. At the World Conker Championships. An event that even captured Ben and Jerry’s imagination They sponsored it. Once. Long time ago. But did you know that they're not actually related at all? And that horse chestnuts got their name because they're "only fit for horses"? Neigh! Can you eat them? Of horse you can't. If eaten raw they're extremely poisonous. Although for some reason the Japanese have been known to flavour rice cakes  with them. Now that doesn’t sound very rice. Maybe they’re just horsin' around. Cue the song.
