Speaking of Briticisms

[justcarol67]

I'm guessing from the context that "dripping all over his Axminster"
refers to the previously mentioned fine antique rug. Or have I missed
my guess?

There were a couple of other expressions, mostly used by Ron, that I
couldn't even guess at from the context. Unfortunately, I can't
remember what they were. Did anyone else encounter these Briticisms
and draw a blank? If so, please post so we can both get unconfused.
