English people, friends of mine, I once again need assistance writing non-North-American characters. One of these days, I'm going to figure this out.

Is a "gaff" an apartment? I've been watching this show online, and this English boy uses "gaff" for literally everything. I think he's using it for both a place and as a gaff (mistake).

A "newsagent's" is a newspaper shop but also like a convenience store sometimes, right?

Is there a more common British word for paycheck?

Which is more common- a stovetop kettle or an electric kettle? (Yes, I'm being very original and having my English boys have a scene where they drink tea.)

What is a really common and really tasty (yet not high on the price scale) dessert-type snack?

What would one call the area of London that's the City of London? Could one say London proper or central London?

The World's End is getting horribly gentrified. One of the reasons we lost our counicllors there, though its still close. 18 votes close in the by-election close.

Though the really good chip shop is still there.

The Tories would love to sell off all of Cremorne and the World's End Towers. It would remove a lot of pesky Labour voters.

Have you been watching " The Secret History of our Streets" on BBC2? It's fascinating!
