The English chap was a very London-centric kinda accent so we do say things quite differently. We even use different words for things within this little island. For instance, I'm a England northerner and I'd say the names for the mealtimes differently from and southerner. For instance Northern: Breakfast, Dinner, Tea Southern: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner Might try these out in my yorkshire accent

But for some of these it was generic American, a posh Boston accent is not the same for a New Yorker or a Californian. Likewise in the UK we don't say things the same, like 'Carstle' is castle to me, or 'parth' is path to me. The ar sound being an a sound. Here I would say the ar sound in things like path and castle, are south of England, quite posh. Like in NYC they might say cawfee and dawg. But on biscuit vs cookie, we have cookies (we being UK), but they're meant to be softer and a bit chewy. A biscuit is double baked, so it's essentially a double baked cookie. What you call a biscuit is closer to our scones. I had biscuits on a flight between NYC and Miami, I'd eat it, but it's just a very different thing to what we'd have. We wouldn't eat a savoury scone with gravy. And typically the gravy you have would be a roux sometimes with sausage added to it - that's what we'd technically call it. A gravy for us is similar, but it's more based around stock and meat juices and the roux is used to thicken it. (a roux being fat and flour mixed and cooked through). You add stock, I just mean to say it feels flipped. Here's an odd one for you, in the US it's lieutenant, so like loo-tenant. But in the UK that same rank of lieutenant is leff-tenant. If you called someone a loo-tenant, you'd be painting the grass green for a day.
