A humo(u)rous yet strangely useful guide to British slang from the book, The Septic*s Companion.
If you can't tell your brolly from your baps or your pants from your plus-fours, this application will be essential. Browsable by category or letter, searchable, and includes audio clips of each word and even a ""guess the definition"" game. If you have a data connection, you can even hear audio pronunciations.
Ideal for anyone who is relocating to the U.K., or dating a limey, or working with Brits, or watches British television programmes, or once went to a British pub, or has at some point in their life owned any item which came from Britain. Also it makes you popular at parties and may, in certain circumstances, avert fist-fights.

- Naismith's Hiking Rule

Ever wondered how long a hike will take?
In 1892, Scottish mountaineer William W. Naismith came up with a rule to establish how long a hike would take given the distance travelled and height climbed. He decided to allow an hour for every 3 miles travelled, and half an hour for every 1000 feet ascended. Shortly afterwards, another gentleman named Tranter made a table of corrections to account for different fitnesses.
At the turn of the century, hikers would memorise Naismith's Rule and carry Tranter's table of corrections - now, a hundred years later, you can carry an equivalent that is somewhat heavier, requires batteries and operates poorly when wet. You can't stop progress!
