Nice quiz ... a couple of issues ... I think Petrol should translate to "gas"; on the dole should be "welfare" or "unemployment benefits"; dodgy could also be "iffy" or "questionable"; I thought "bobbie" was spelled (spelt) "bobby". It would be nice to see the other choices in the answers.

A C.V. is a different thing from a resume.

You should accept "running shoes" or "tennis shoes" or "gym shoes" for trainers. I've lived all over the US and practically no one says sneakers.

Good quiz, but a lot of the British words you have listed are slang words, often less commonly used than the 'American equivalent' other than that a good quiz though
