Truck on fire, closed A / 1 in Lodi

(ANSA) – MILAN, 16 FEB – A road accident involving an articulated lorry is causing the temporary closure of the A / 1 motorway in both directions of travel, near Lodi. 118 rescued an injured man, a 47-year-old man, perhaps the driver of the vehicle, who was transported in yellow code to the Niguarda hospital in Milan. The fire brigade extinguished the flames that had formed a high column of…

I don’t speak English English

I have complicated my life by adding British characters to “I Go to France,” and now I’m having trouble writing dialog. I’m pretty good on genuine different Brit/US vocab: I’m reading history at university rather than I’m majoring in history in college. Americans wear braces on their teeth and Brits use them to hold up their trousers (not pants).

The thing I’m having trouble with is ordinary conversational British English. There are a million internet pages on British slang, but it’s not helpful, because I can’t tell who uses it, in terms of age group/social group, etc.

So any UK readers who’d like to help me out here, I would be very grateful to you. I’d love some alternative words for “crazy” other than Ron Weasley’s “mental.” Do regular people still say “mad” or is it only Prince Charles’s crowd who uses it? My English characters are in their early twenties and well-educated, and one of them is upper-class, although he prefers to conceal that, so I would guess that adjusting his language would be part of that concealment. He’s a good guy, likeable, smart. I don’t care how much profanity he uses, as long as it would be appropriate for that sort of character. Any useful expressions would be helpful. I’ve happily adopted the word plonker since it was introduced to me by an English reader, so I’m always looking to expand my vocabulary.

Also, finally, a necktie is a necktie, right? Or just a tie? I can’t recall ever learning otherwise, but for some reason, it’s worrying me, possibly because of my own personal trousers/pants fiasco on a visit to London.

All suggestions welcome. Thank you!

1980 public information film about how to drive safely around an articulated lorry. I’m not sure whether the car tried to go into the space beside the lorry, or was actually trying to drive underneath it.
