Well this bronzed Aussie isn't offended at all!
Oh I'd be after her like a Democrat after a tax increase or a gun-free zone.
YOUR ARE CORRECT, HOWEVER AMERICANS CALL THE CLOTH YOU PUT IN YOUR LAP NAPKINS, SIMPLY ALERT HER TO NOT ASK FOR A NAPKIN, PLAIN AND SIMPLE...
I was stationed at RAF Chicksands (now defunct base and grazing spot for sheep) from 1973 - 1976. My English neighbor was from Abergavany, Wales and he delighted in trying to get me to say those Welsh town names with all the double LL's in them in my Southern accent. He rolled on the floor laughing.
But, we took a weekend trip and visited his home town along with a lot of old castles (actually most were just lines of big rocks marking where the castle used to stand) along with a trip to Bath and other neat places. The food in the pubs was good but couldn't get over the 3 little ice cubes in a glass of warm coke with my meal.
We also visited London and he told me to make sure to bring plenty of pennies. Found out that almost all the public bathrooms have pay to use stalls and each took a penny. Now all these years later it probably cost a bit more or maybe you can swipe your card (beware the stuff they put in the stalls to swipe your bottom, it was like wax paper and would zip all the way up your back before you knew what hit you).
Enjoy your trip.

If I remember correctly the English call our "napkin" a "serviette". Oh, and french fries are called chips and chips are called crisps. And if a man tells you that he will knock you up at 7 am that means he will wake you (call on you) at 7 am......so don't smack him in the gob.
I hear ya girl,get what makes you happy lifes short live it !
I used the thin wallet thing that hangs from a lanyard around your neck
And kept it inside my shirt
I enjoyed going to the British museum of natural history
I've heard of the Rosetta Stone all my life , but it was pretty cool to see it in person.

The most appreciated gifts I brought back From my trip were panties that had
"Mind the gap " printed on them
Also , when our tour guide overheard some of the women in our group saying
"I decided to wear pants today" (instead of a skirt or dress) he pointed out that "pants" means ladies underwear .
Trousers is the word they use for what we call pants
Also you might be surprised at some of the advertising
I was last there in 2004 and even back then A lot of newspapers and such had mostly naked people in the ads . No telling what it's like now
Figure out a way to visit some of the small towns and villages too
