Soon you will discover that at the hotel you are asked “At what time shall we knock you up?” You should not be taken aback or call the police, because they simply want to know at what time you’d like your morning wake-up call. When crossing a street you will have to look out for lorries, or trucks. The local bobby, the cop, will help you out with directions. The sidewalk becomes the pavement in London and pedestrian crossings or crosswalks be be called zebra crossings, because of the stripes on the blacktop. And you will wonder about the way they spell words: honour, kerb, gaol, acknowledgement and the American defense becomes defence. Organize ends up as organise.
