Tickets to see Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds *bounces with excitement*
It was most definitely...a THING.

A load of chemical free cleaning products. After a big scare with one of the cats last week I'm taking no chances (we don't know for sure what caused it, but could have been cleaning chemicals - he's a puddle drinker and even though I think I rinsed everything thoroughly I did take a call from my mum around the time I was cleaning the shower  :-\\\\ ) So better safe than sorry. And it'll benefit the whole household.

A Kipling PURSE(OOh, I just LOVE them!). No, not a wallet. A purse. The thing you put wallets into.

I'll say proper, quite, trousers, knickers, toMAHto, trolley, bonnet, pudding, and just about anything else on que now, but I hit a mental block whenever someone tries to get me to call a purse a bag and a wallet a purse. Just can't do it! :)

And not a Billfold?
OTS but I think new items in the American language since the 1960's are Jam which use to be called Jelly (maybe a different composition) and Jelly which was called Jello.
Railway is still railroad. Motorway is Freeway/Interstate depending where people live.
I think the UK has been more influenced by Yankee English. Pictures are now movies.
I've noticed many more examples but I can't remember them right now. ???

I am the same way I always say purse meaning what I put my wallet into.  :)  I have been here in the UK nearly 4 years to me it just feels weird saying it the English way.   ::)

I'm working on 10 years and I still say purse to mean what I put my wallet in.
Insert wonderfully creative signature here …

Me too.  Handbag just does not come out of my mouth easily.  Purse and wallet.  Stacey says Pocketbook and that cracks me up because that's what my Mom says.
