1. Mum = mom (BTW, today, March 18th is mother's day. Fortunately for my mother, she will be getting two Mother's Day gifts. One in honour (that's the way one spells "honor" in the UK) of Mum's Day in the UK and another in honor of Mother's Day in the states (I think that's sometime in May)
2. "Darling" is a very common word here. "Darling how are you?" "Darling, it's good to see you." Darling, come sit here with me."
3. Motorway = highway or freeway.
4. You must kiss people on both sides of the cheek. Outside of the work place, kissing on both sides of the cheek is a standard greeting.
5. Pissed = drunk (not angry)
6. 70 miles an hour is the speed limit for driving. (?!?!?)
