Oh you mean Ly-sester-shyre?[haha]
Their confectionery is a joke too. Hersheys? Its chocolate flavoured wax fit only for dogs. Dont start me on that oreo biscuit tripe either.
But like I said before, their coffee is the best but I'd give their tea a wide berth.
However I could eat their belgian waffles with cream, maple syrup and strawberries for breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper and I do whenever I am over. I always put on weight whenever I visit.

Reminds me of the hungry pirate I encounter sometimes.
He eat's, shoot's and leave's.

Elite was made on a system where memory was short, so why not save 2 digits for that word? Thoe old habits may just stick around 
Yeah, salt water will do that.

Having recently relocated back to the UK from the USA after nearly 20 years in the midwest, I tend to write in the "real" spellings I learned as a kid and type in the US ones. Part of that is that pretty much all my computers have a US keyboard. This means that I have to mess with locale settings - typically trying to set the "system" locale to en-UK then overriding the input method to en-US so that the labels on my keys are correct. The other part of it is that 99% of websites and online apps are coded for en-US for "English" which means all spell-checkers etc don't like the way we Brits write certain words.
Sadly for one of the mother tongues of this septic Isle, the US spellings have drifted into being the international standard in the age of the internet.

As a Brit in the USA, I can't recommend this blog enough for those that want to actually understand the differences in the use of English on either side of the pond, and not just lob petty jibes for the lulz:

Taught me a great deal - including that "could care less" isn't as daft as it seems, and that many "Americanisms" were actually British English at the time the Mayflower set off - the Brit version then evolved, where the US one remained the same.

I wanted to make some post about American hegemony, but the only video that game to mind was the USSR anthem. Not sure what that says about me...
Also, while IUPAC can be helpful it does get a little crazy from time to time. It also allows for common names. I say this enjoying an extraction of 1,3,7-Trimethylpurine-2,6-dione diluted with a measure of casein and triglycerides with a plurality of palmitic acid moieties.
Lastly, y'all Brits want to careful bringing up language. As silly as it is, you don't want to know what we yanks start thinking whenever we hear your accents. I was in Ireland (yes, I know Ireland=/=UK) last summer. Let's just say I was distracted.
