Canadians got Hosers and Britains got Scousers, who would’ve thunk it!

Hmm.. isn't hoser like an insult?

Some people might use Scouser as an insult, but it's just people from Liverpool.

Oi, I'm but a simple socialist who once lived in a commune, residing in the world's newest fascistic regime! A few of us Yankees still read. I personally prefer to watch the beebs so I can keep up with current trends such as Cockney rhyming slang.

That's more like it. "Nuts and bolts" makes way too much sense to be an actual British name.

Nuts and bolts sounds more like cockney rhyming slang for an electrical outlet. 230 volts -> bolts -> nuts and bolts
