Gotta have lashings of Bisto gravy, yorkies and good ol' British Maris Piper potatoes too. Occasionally carrot turnip mash if you're feeling posh. Cauliflower and broccoli if that's your thing. Served by Lynda Bellingham.

Americans know it as Apple Crisp, because the US has to perpetuate the myth than American English is anything but a bastardisation of an existing language and therefore have different words for the same thing.

And yes. Hot Ambrosia® custard, not ice cream, and not Birds®. Just as I was served at school dinners (which somehow bow are called lunch).

Or Colmans English Mustard. English Wasabi, I call it.

Honestly, I had to read this slowly, one word at a time, in case you the put words wrong way around again

I read that as monkey laundering

Same happened to me two years ago. I signed up for a 30-day trial with one of those e-fax companies and after the doc was sent I cancelled. To be fair, my work had an account with that service so I already knew about it - but I knew I didn't want to pay a buck a page just to pay my taxes... Hopefully you don't need this advice in future but maybe it can come in handy just in case!

It's because of the crappy colour grading they do to merge shot footage with cgi effects. Jurassic Park holds up because it's from an era of cinema where they didn't do that grungy Blue-grey shit.

I was so confused by this as a kid.
