Enh... I know I've looked at lists of this kind of stuff before. Wikipedia even has one, btw, if you're allowed to have a look-see.
Do you guys still call the hood of a car the bonnet? And do you still call the trunk the boot?
Also, I still haven't worked this out: is "custard" for you guys what we call "flan"? or is that pudding?? Or are these two different things of similar color and texture?
Maybe it's not appropriate enough, but what about "knocked up" as in an unplanned pregnancy (Or have you guys picked that one up as well?)
Gas was petrol last time I checked. Do you call a commercial on the TV an advert, or is that only written ads? Is the TV still the telly(sp?)?
I think British "public schools" are what Americans call "private schools", and our "public schools" are run by the local school district.
