And those terms for the police sound a bit dated to me. The rest is spot on though.
Although your beloved may have already covered that one.
Fanny means something else in Europe, ask John.
Coppers or the Bill instead of cops.
Arse instead of ass.
Damn colonials or Yanks instead of Americans
Shite instead of shit
Boot instead of trunk (for cars)
Path instead of sidewalk.
Lollipop woman/man instead of crossing guard.
A Professor is a high ranking academic ( generally someone who holds a department chair)
Cinema instead of theatre for going to see a film.
Motorway instead of highway
Sweets instead of candy

Chips in most places is what we Americans call "Steak Fries". Still Fries, just not French.
