British (Maybe) Colloquialism Question?

[fenderlove]

I have some words that I'm confused about their usage, and I was hoping that someone could help me?

Is a newsagent a convenience store? And is it pronounced newsagent or newsagents?

Also, what is a newsreader? Is it like a television news anchor person?

In Britain, is a flapjack the same as a pancake or are they considered different?

Are Jaffa Cakes delicious? :D

I miss TastyKakes so much. They're ubiquitous in Philly, and nonexistant here.

They're selling them in some Wal-Marts now, but not the tastiest lemon/orange ones though. Our local Wally World gets a random batch or two every six months and they sell out really quick. :(

My favs are jelly krimpets & butterscotch krimpets. They never are here :(

The butterscotch krimpets are THE BEST. Great, now I want some. XD

LOL! Well, at least you and I are in the same boat :D

Haha! One of my friends is originally from Philly, and she and her family would go back up there to visit and she would bring us back lots and lots of boxes. XD

Whenever I go there, I come home w/ TastyKakes and a bag of soft pretzels ;)
