Be careful with this if you have a particluar region in mind, as British
slang is strongly regionalised. Scottish English is VERY different (almost
incomprehensible in some cases) to English English. Even in England the
regional variations are quite major. e.g. it is unlikley someone with a
Strong Gordie (Newcastle) accent/phraseology could communicate very
sucsessfully with someone with a Strong West Country (Cornish etc.) accent.
Then South Eastern / London (Cockney) accents are something else altogether.
