- British English: It’s a balmy 21 outside. Grab your chum, get some wonga from the hole in the wall, toss your bag in the boot and go fill up the petrol. If you’re heading to the cinema, you’ll need about 7 quid.
- Irish English: It’s a soft old day at 21 outside. Grab your head, get a Danny boy from the drink link, toss your bagáiste in the boot and go fill up the petrol. If you’re heading to the pictures, you’ll need about 9 quid.
- American English: It’s a mild 70 degrees outside. Grab your friend, get some some cash from the ATM, toss your luggage in the trunk and go fill up the gas. If you’re heading to the movie theater, you’ll need about 14 bucks.
