The UK toUSA Distionary
By Dervaes and Hunter
138 pages, 2012
Recently the Goeberts, Dianna Gonzales, Deb and I were touring Scotland on a trip sponsored by the
Zorns of Little British Car Company. One day Shirley got a hankering for some ice cream. Dianna had just
spotted a sign for malts, so Roger, ever the gentleman, asked the driver if we could stop. He was happy to
oblige. Unbeknown to us, innocents abroad, malt shop has a slightly different meaning in Scotland than it does
in the U. S. of A. Not like Pop’s Shoppe where Archie, Betty, Veronica and Jug-head hung out after school.
But we went in anyways and sampled a dram (or two).
A small book in size, but it might just keep you from making a similar ‘mistake’ as
mentioned above if you get across the pond. As George Bernard Shaw said, “Two
countries separated by a common language.”
