Cor Blimey! What’s He On About?

(I live in Australia. Mum and I are heading overseas soon. Because we’re renting a car, my dad is showing me how to use a device that will jump-start the car.)

Dad: “See, the real benefit here is that you don’t need to rely on strangers or mess around with jumper leads. And you don’t want to be stuck for a long time on the side of the road in another country where you don’t speak the language, do you?”

Me: “Dad, we’re going to England.”
