This is 100% accurate, I can vouch for it. There's nothing better than Her Majesty's Sugar Barnet at a fun fair.

I'm American and just about every American I know calls it Autumn...

deleted · 9 years ago

Most people don't. You're just lucky. I make a point of saying it because I like the word 'autumn' a lot more.

Postlord is so much better than mailman. I think I might move to England and change my profession.

jollysailorbold · 9 years ago

sad to say most of us just call it a mailman ;)
