Things are different here...

Things are different in England.

For one thing, there's the keyboard.  Left shift key is too short, and has the 
pipe/backslash right next to it.  @ is with single-quote, down by L, along 
with ~#.  Right-alt doesn't usually work.

The plumbing is different too.  We're not in one of those quaint cottages 
where the drains run down the outside wall, but it still seems primitive.  The 
toilets have these great deep bowls, and when you flush it feels like you're 
pumping the water up a well.  To take a shower, first you pull the ceiling 
chain next to the stall to turn on the heater.  Then you turn the dial on the 
heater counter-clockwise to open the valve, and further counter-clockwise is 
cooler, back towards off is warmer.

Need to track down the local interest groups and see what's what over her.
