    Reminds me of when I bought a skirt from eBay,  I wrote and asked the seller if she would measure the waistband as clothes sizes vary so much, she wrote back with the measurement and said ‘it’s a beautiful skirt, you’ll look really sick in this’ 😀

    'Amazing' seems to be to the British what 'Awesome' is to the Americans.  
    Awesome is also used quite a lot here in the UK too.

    I'm just waiting for something to be described as Amazingly Awesome - I suspect I won't have that long to wait ;)
