Baked potato...well, that's what it is. It's a potato that's baked. Band-aid is a brand name that's come into popular use for small bandages. Bank teller is also obvious, it's a teller that works in a bank; cashier is used for someone who works in a store. Bedspread, comforter, and duvet are all used interchangably, depending on the area.
store is a verb.

You know, a lot of the stuff you're listing is just utterly ridiculous...I'd dissect your (non-existant) point but I'm too busy biting the heads off of gummi bears.
So I'll just say it again. DIALECTS.
Every part of britain has its own dialect from Glasgow to Edinburgh and From London to Newcastle, we all have our own words and use them everyday e.g In Scotland we say "Ken" instead of "Know" but we still say that "know" is the correct spelling

Shop is a verb, i.e. going shopping. A store is a place you can shop in. Shop is generally only used if it's in the name of the store.

No need to tell me that, I know that already. Do you think America's any different in that respect? 😛

But you're right, I mean, look at cockney rhyming slang. ermm
Hahaha, this is very interesting. One of the better things discussed here recently in OTF. Personally, I use a bit from both.
You know what really grinds my gears? The system of measurement used in both your countries. WTF is a pound? That shit isn't easy to round up at all both in measurement and currency. You wanna know what also grinds my gears? That f*cking miles system. That shit looks retarded.
