I had to use dictionary.com for patechnicon. Apparently it's a moving van - well, you learn summat new every day, don't ya? And I've never heard of a battery being called an accumulator either...

I thought I would've done better after talking to a certain British person for more than two years. :|

[Maxico]

The Brits secretly want to be French, that's why they have so many superfluous vowels.

Riiiiight, so thats why alot of british people think insulting the french is soooo funny.

ok anyway I seriously didn't know which one is which. Im thinking this one is the english collum and being british I have no Idea what these mean. Unless its some long forgotten slang.
1 aerodrome
2 perambulator
4 hair grip
5 turf accountant
6 chucker outer
8 fascia panel
9 hooter
10 accumulator
11 patechnicon
13 transport cafe
14 draughts
18 egg flip

Then there are words in the american collum that are used in england.
a dashboard
b car horn
d battery
e eggnog
f bookie (I swear gamblings illgeal in most of america.)
g bouncer
j drug store
k checkers
l moving van
m truck
n truck stop
o line
r airfield

And you missed to most obvious one like sidewalk and pavement or boot and trunk.

So I am way too confused to take part in this.

[ZuZu]

Should words Elevator and Lift belong here too?
I don't remember which one British and Americans use...
Maybe someone can give a hint
