going to the theatre

Here is your British vocabulary lesson for the day. Here they call operating rooms, "theatres." So if someone asks you to go to the theatre you may want to clarify whether you're going to a West End production of Chicago, or to the hospital for surgery! But, they also call the regular doctor's office a "surgery." Did you follow that??

Also, if you want to go to the movies, be sure to say you want to see "a film at the cinema," since they rarely call them the movies or the theatre. That would obviously be confusing...
