Wow.....That's....That's a winner.
I still laugh inside whenever I see those in the frozen aisle.
Yeah, yeah, very funny. Actually these were a source of amusement for many a British school-child as you can imagine.
But I do feel the need to mention the US term "fanny packs". Any other fellow Brits reading this will understand.
During a conversation about British/American English, the guys at work sort of cringed when they brought up the "fanny" thing- as in, should we be saying this in front of her? I thought it was funny because to me... well, it didn't mean anything!
