I grew up in Scotland and always thought of the daddy-long-legs as the spiders. They're the ones with the massively concentrated venom... in quantities too small to affect a human.

Also
quilt or duvet in the UK = doona in Australia.

receipt in the UK = docket in Australia (or did when I emigrated, it may have fallen out of favour recently)

I still use 'the hole in the wall' for the ATM, at least when talking to my family.
