Why the hell would a British term be Aerodrome? Its a bleeding French word for heavens sake!

Anyway:
1 aerodrome // r airfield
2 perambulator // d battery
3 queue // o line
4 hair grip // q bobby pin
5 turf accountant // f bookie
6 chucker outer // h baby buggy
7 boiled sweets // p hard candy
8 fascia panel // a dashboard
9 hooter // b car horn
10 accumulator // g bouncer
11 patechnicon // l moving van
12 lorry // m truck
13 transport cafe // n truck stop
14 draughts // k checkers
15 candy floss // c cotten candy
16 nappy // i diaper
17 chemist's // j drug store
18 egg flip // e eggnog

[Doomgaze]

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

That said, "queue" is used in the US as well, but not as commonly.

most of these are probably wrong. I didn't even bother trying to match the rest.

" perambulator----m truck
10 accumulator----l moving van
11 patechnicon---k checkers
14 draughts----d battery"

*giggle*
*snigger*
*guffaw*

I'm sorry...but draughts is NOT battery. Its checkers. Slightly different...and perambulator......its a pram. A thing babys get pushed in. Not a truck. I have some mental images now that are just so good. =D=D
Language is cool.
