just FYI, most Americans, even many familiar with Britishisms, don't know what "A&E" is (or rather they think it's a cable channel).
(For those following along at home: A&E is "Accident and emergency [department]", or what Americans call the ER.)
- Jabbles 13y agoAh, sorry about that. Most people in Britain would be delighted and honoured to be invited to see ER...
- taejo 13y agoAnd again, for the Americans (and others), in Britain ER is Elizabeth regina. I.e., the Queen.
- ams6110 13y agoI thought it was called the "casualty department"
- k-mcgrady 13y agoI know a lot of people who call it casualty but on signs at the hospital it's usually A&E (Accident & Emergency). It might be regional or something that's changed over the years.
