Thanks, Diana.
'Chuffed' (delighted) could easily be confused with 'chuff all' (f**k all), I suppose.
Regarding the £20.00 Speccie win, I didn't spend it on a curry, after all; I had a £19.99 fillet steak, so when the cheque arrives it will find me needing to 'spend a penny' (go for a pee!), which dates from the time that public toilets in the UK were operated by putting an old penny in a slot in the door, pre-1971 decimilisation.
So I was wondering whether 'I need to spend a penny' has crossed the Atlantic.
