summon a bus

To light a cigarette while waiting for a bus at a bus stop. Derived from the belief in murphy's/sod's law, which states that a bus (on which smoking is not permitted) will always arrive shortly after a cigarette is lit.

(Man waiting for bus): "Ill just summon the bus.."

silverlink

Very slow train. Takes longer than the megabus, but costs more! Also slang term for skiving or driving too slowly.

Croft, why are you doing 60 on the motorway? Are you the silverlink?

motorway

Large, dual carriageway road with special status (in UK, Ireland, Australia). International equivalents: Interstate, Autobahn, autostrada. No stopping, u-turns, etc. Maximum speed limit (in UK) 70mph/110kph. In practice the police leave you alone up to 100mph/160kph. No speed cameras are allowed on ordinary motorways (eg no roadworks, or otherwise reduced speed limits). Due to poor planning and low government spending on all transport, UK motorways are notoriously congested (the busiest stretch or road in Europe, the M6 through Birmingham, has only 3 lanes each way).

Shall we take the motorway or the a-roads?

disco piss

Weak lager beer, such as Carling, Fosters etc. Tastes like piss and drunk by the bucketload by scallies (but its only 3.5%).

Stop drinking that disco piss you scally wanker and get a proper beverage.
