I've heard of Business Unit Managers referred to as BUM's.   ;D

We call the toy storage things boxes or tubs.  But my kid is good at knowing both the American and British terms for things.  For the most part.

I would definitely be laughing if during a meeting they were talking about how good a particular BUM is. I am very mature. lol
My, how time flies....

Nobody should EVER say "On accident"! haha :p

I'm so very sorry but I have caught myself saying it, and it was on a trip back home and I was like "Why am I saying this? WHY AM I SAYING THIS?!" but I couldn't stop myself. It was terrible. Hahahah!

You are most forgiving! Thank you! HAHAHA

We're actually doing accents today on the podcast so look out for that episode. You can laugh and cringe at my attempts at various accents from around the US!

hahahahah it's funny because you actually still sound super British (but not Welsh LOL wouldn't have guessed that) and I would've figured you'd start to sound American by this point but there are certain things you were saying to the episodes I listened to yesterday that were less apparent with the accent than others lol
