Lets just say its not the same.
Whats that quote about 2 countries divided by a language? Dont use 'pants' in UK either, unless you mean underwear! Try 'trousers' instead..
Then we have lifts, pavements,curtains etc (instead of elevators, sidewalks and drapes). UK folk understand some US English as we see such a lot of your compatriots in US films/TV, but I suspect its harder the other way round!
