To the Brits, kerosene is paraffin. To us paraffin is wax. What do Brits call that wax?

Sorry, it was a mind fart.
Of course I know Petrol is Gasoline, if I didnīt it would be hammered in anyway by constant references to "Petrol filling stations", "Petrol engines" and such, which all mean "Gasoline".

FWIW here in Argentina if you say "Gasolina" they will understand you, but everyday word is "Nafta" .
And "Parafina" is a mineral wax, translucid cooking paper is called "Papel parafinado" . Oh well.

Here in Fl we call Naptha lighter fluid, same smell as the lighter fluid they load Zippos up with.

I knew what you were talking about just running with the thread and the different variations of words from different parts of the world. It's rather interesting to me.

I LOVE the way all our guys contribute to the differences in our little world. A buddy in OZ is ALWAYS making fun of me with the things I say! Mike.

[Enzo]

Well, the guys in OZ have to spend their lives upside down, so we cut them some slack...

Bad enough the electrons in their circuits move the other direction.

[J M Fahey]

Hey!!! Oz is proper side up!!!!
Itīs you Northies who are feet up.

Letīs advance with Technology beyond what Columbus would have used, this is a modern map which corrects the 3 main problems in old style ones:

Not complaining... rather enjoying the discussion.

You mean that flat part is not the edge I've been told of?
