“When it's three o'clock in New York, it's still 1938 in London.”

Well said ... by Bette Midler.

I thought I was prepared - I've traveled the world and been to London on multiple occasions. I figured I could easily handle picking up a life built in DC over 11 years and settle into jolly old London. But in many ways...1938 it is...or at least not the US ;-)

* Everyone must have a title, on all forms, at all times. When do you make the switch from Miss to Ms? (though at least the bank also gives you Baroness as an option)

* Don't even think about not wearing stockings...ever.

* Yes - the bowler hat is alive and well.

* Don't make a joke about royalty - reference my first note, if princess if given as an option for a title don't say "yup, that's why I came over here - to nab the other one"...it's apparently not funny.

I know...it's just going to keep getting better ;-)
