How fun, James. I lived in Malaysia for two years, which has more British English than U.S. My friends go crazy when i still use "buy one free one" instead of "Buy one get one free" or "Take away" instead of "To go." I understand "lift" and all the others...
I'm glad you had a good time - and Happy Birthday!
