Controlling the lights, temperature and fans in American homes can be like a foreign language to Brits Toni Hargis, a British mother who lives in Chicago, Illinois, said: 'Resist the urge to throw the doors and windows open at the first hint of heat; American air conditioning (called A/C rather than air-con, btw) will be one step ahead of you and in full throttle. 'Opening a window is therefore akin to leaving the fridge door open and will be met with variations of “What? Are we trying to cool down the whole neighborhood?” 'The question “Do you want the A/C turned down?” actually means, “Do you want this room to be even colder than it is?” since turning A/C down refers to the temp rather than the ferocity. 'When you wake up in the middle of the night, with chattering teeth and an ice-cream headache, resist the temptation to turn the A/C off. The room will become Hades Revisited in the blink of an eye and the A/C then has to work even harder to cool it back down.'Americans in the UK may be surprised to find that many Brits' washing machines also function as tumble dryers.

It seems manufacturers have kept this breakthrough a secret in the U,S,, where most households with one will have the other as a separate unit.And as well as common confusion in the kitchen of Worcestershire sauce and 'cuppas', glass screens on doors and windows are also a problem for unsuspecting Brits who forget they are there.Mrs Hargis said: 'One poor guest hit my screen door so hard he grazed the end of his nose and bore the scars for a week. Just a note though, as a guest, one surefire way to drive your American hosts crazy is to leave the screen doors open.'She then addresses ceiling fans, for which the controls will appear to Brits to be mysteriously hidden in different locations around rooms. Get used to living in a tiny space - UK homes are smaller If you're hot, open a windowIf you're cold, put a jumper on or turn the central heating on for a limited periodWhen not using a plug, switch it offMake sure you - and your children - eat with fork in the left hand and the knife in the rightIf it look like there's no tumble dryer

TIPS FOR BRITS IN AMERICA Always assume there is a screen in doorwaysDo not take off your shoes when stepping insideIf you're too hot, ask for the air conditioning to be turned downMap out you fan controls on arrival so you don't wake people up at nightPronounce all words the usual way - Americans will enjoy hearing itDo not use or ask for a toothpick Say cookie not biscuitAsk for a cup of tea, not a 'brew' or 'cuppa' Confusion: Operating fans is a problem for Brits, while some lucky Americans will get to enjoy an open fire 'Usually the fan goes on, but not the light, which means you have to walk to the center of the room and pull one of the chains; the chain you pull will turn the fan off, but you won’t notice till you’re back at the wall switch and the blades have begun to slow down. 'Now you can’t remember which chain you pulled so you go back and pull a few at random.
